- Mapping Russian Media Network
- /analyses/2018/01/mapping-russian-media-network
- Since the collapse of the Soviet Union, Russia has used media as an important instrument and lever of influence. The role of media in promoting Russian foreign policy and exerting the influence of President Vladimir Putin has become increasingly visible since the conflict Ukraine and other domestic and international confrontations began. CNA has undertaken an effort to map the Russian media environment and examine Russian decision-making as it relates to the media. This report provides an overview of the role that the media plays in Russian foreign policy. Specifically, we examine Russia’s media environment, Russia’s decision- making related to media and messaging, including the drivers and boundaries of that decision-making. We evaluate the role of Vladimir Putin and his inner circle, and finally, we examine the role that Russia’s media and messaging plays in external influence. In addition, we highlight that while media is a key instrument of influence, culture, politics, and business are also important in broader Russian influence efforts abroad. Furthermore, this report outlines the way that decision-making and messaging is carried out by Vladimir Putin and his closest advisors through a series of scenarios that range from crisis to steady state. Finally, we provide overarching takeaways for policy makers and the international community to consider in understanding Russia’s media environment and Russian decision-making in the media.

- Hurricane Irma After Action Report
- /analyses/2018/01/hurricane-irma-after-action-report
- The organizational structure for emergency evacuation and response within Pinellas County is a well-developed collaboration between the county, 24 cities, law enforcement, fire services, and hundreds of community partners and agencies. For large-scale events or incidents, the primary agencies and partners form a Response Operations Coordination (ROC) group to discuss scenarios and operational concerns and to plan implementation and timing of emergency actions. In response to a hurricane, the ROC group holds an initial meeting once the county enters the three-day forecast cone, the anticipated path of the storm. The group then meets—in person or virtually—every six hours as new hurricane advisories are issued. The ROC also meets in the aftermath of a storm to promote information-sharing among all area partners.
