The CDA Press is reporting on the Cascadia Rising disaster drill as if it has really happened ” to try to relay the urgency of efficient and effective response.” Brian Walker reports: The earthquake and tsunami that rocked the West Coast on Tuesday morning is expected to have a powerful ripple effect on North Idaho. A conference call will be held this afternoon with local officials to discuss potential impacts the 9.0-magnitude earthquake and tsunami will have on Kootenai County, said Sandy Von Behren, the county’s Office of Emergency Management director. Von Behren said she and other county disaster planners were informed by the Idaho Bureau of Homeland Security at 8 a.m. on Tuesday that the center of the earthquake was 95 miles east of Eugene, Ore./ Brian Walker , CDA Press.

Question: Agree or disagree with this style of reporting? Also, I want to know how Brian Walker can write a dozen articles in one day. I’m going to start calling The Press “The Walker Press.”
