Adapting to change.

During the past year, a few of us have been fixed on successfully transitioning our journal from the American Medical Association and to evolving and launching a Society of Disaster Medicine and Public Health to serve as its future home. Now we can report that the journal has been fully transitioned, and the Society has finally been launched. To date, many difficulties have been overcome, and, unfortunately, obstacles and obstructions remain on our path forward. However, overall we are extremely optimistic about the future of both the journal and the society. Even so, to better assure a successful outcome for both, we need to ensure that we continually position ourselves to better adapt to the ever-changing environment in which we operate.
