In his article entitled “Boston is One of the Best Prepared U.S. Cities to Handle a Crisis,” posted on The Atlantic Cities website, Henry Grabar writes that “emergency management personnel in the Boston region had not only been imagining such a complex scenario, they had been rehearsing it.” Grabar describes in detail the exercises, scenarios, and constant training that a city such as Boston regularly goes through in preparation for  an “event” such as the April 15th bombings at the Boston Marathon.
