All right, Jack, it's great to have you on the podcast and welcome.

Yes, absolutely.

Like there was obviously a lot of problems going on.

ahead with it and like a big part of when it's all ended you're walking around and all you can hear is generators basically just like a buzzing sound basically across the whole island it's not a very big island either and so for everything power is huge probably one of the biggest factors and i think it goes ahead with the whole cleanup side of things like people need power for their vehicles for obviously the restoration equipment etc etc for people's houses so they can go back to normal life and you're not sat there in the dark or anything like that so yeah i'd have said power it is of course a really big thing and also they speak to a lot of government organizations would have lots of different types of utility companies that yeah would help obviously with various different types of water streams and that kind of stuff so yeah what a big part of it is is yeah power utilities in general and yeah of course obviously having the whole backup side of food and shelters is of course important as well but yeah i think they're they're the two main things that i've said

all right i have two more questions and then i wanted to move to our lightning round You mentioned the resilient cities, which is something that I'm not super familiar with, but I had a question thinking about this.

So is this focus much more on how cities handle disasters, how cities would handle a flood or power outage? Is that kind of the core thesis of resilient cities?
