DEPARTMENT OF HOMELAND SECURITY SET TO LAUNCH FINAL ONLINE COMMENT FORUM MONDAY

Thank you for your interest and participation in the National Dialogue on the Quadrennial Homeland Security Review (QHSR). Since the dialogue launched in August, over 26,000 of you have read and provided input on the proposals put forth by DHS. By learning about and weighing in on the work of the study groups conducting this important top-to-bottom review, you are helping to shape our nation's homeland security policies and priorities for the next four years.

The third and final phase of the National Dialogue on the QHSR will go live for one week beginning next Monday, September 28, 2009. This is your last chance to provide your best ideas and feedback to DHS for consideration in the Quadrennial Homeland Security Review.

Your Last Chance to Provide Input into the QHSR

The QHSR is nearly finished. In the first and second dialogues, you helped rate and rank the goals and objectives that will guide homeland security policy for the near future. (Both previous dialogues are archived online here: Phase 1 | Phase 2).

Now DHS wants your feedback on a few key remaining questions in each of the six study areas. When the National Dialogue goes live on Monday, you will have the opportunity to read, rate, and respond to questions and proposals posed by DHS, which have been shaped by your participation in the two previous dialogues. This is your final chance to provide input before the QHSR is completed, so bring your best ideas, tell us about your experience, and read and rate other participants' ideas to ensure the best ones "rise to the top."
