This was the original layout by Bruce, not his finished work. There were other elements to cover and the desigations were what applied to the Fresno Office of the State Office of Emergency Services where the position titles vary from other locations. Titles change, but what is important are the concepts embodied within this work. The ideas he utilized are worthy of study by program managers.

Bruce contributed much to all that he touched. He is, and will be, missed.

Adios, Bruce.
