Summary:
2.2 Spelling & Grammar Issues:
(1) Sentence: "Numerous after-action and news reports on events such as SARS, the 2007 London subway bombing, the 1998 Ice Storm (Eastern Canada and Northern New York State), Haiti, Afghanistan, Katrina, and 9/11 events have documented the challenges faced by even the most technologically advanced agencies to effectively and efficiently interoperate with partners."

(4) Sentence: "Decision-makers worldwide are seeking new and innovative ways to balance the requirement to share information and simultaneously protect sensitive data assets."
Suggest: "new and innovative" I think in this situation the "new" is redundant with innovative. ; "innovative" is sufficient. But, what I think you are saying is something like this: "both novel adaptations and groundbreaking innovations as ways to … -
