These stumbling blocks range from the unforeseen cascading effects of natural disasters to critical shortages in training, resources, and equipment. Unfortunately, one of the most difficult impediments to overcome is the perception that the government is engaging in Orwellian civil liberty infringement under the guise of security provisions (Farrell, 2011). This paper will explore some of the critical connections between public perceptions and government transparency using nine electronic, peer evaluated resources and a public opinion survey of a small representative sampling of 100 people from various cultural, ethical, financial, and professional demographics. Finally, it will formulate the base of the evidentiary support to prove the thesis stated in the opening sentence of this
