PLEASE RANK DHS PROPOSALS NOW!
http://www.homelandsecuritydialogue.org/dialogue2/


REMINDER: The public has September 8 and 9* to prioritize broad proposals made by the DEPARTMENT OF HOMELAND SECURITY. There are six categories. Someone posted earlier that it seems more important that we complete prioritizing within all these categories first because the "discussion" areas are quite lengthy.

From their Homepage:

Inform the work of the QHSR Study Groups – Participate in the National Dialogue

Prioritize homeland security mission objectives

Tell us what you think must be done to achieve the objectives or share other ideas

Discuss, rate and comment on others' ideas

Rank our proposals so far

Get involved with the discussion

UPDATE: DEPARTMENT OF HOMELAND SECURITY EXTENDS ONLINE COMMENT PERIOD FOR STAKEHOLDERS

The U.S. Department of Homeland Security has announced that the National Dialogue on the Quadrennial Homeland Security Review has been extended until Wednesday, September 9th due to overwhelming participation from homeland security partners and stakeholders across the nation.

As a nation, we face a number of common threats and we recognize that homeland security is a shared responsibility. The QHSR is a critical part of DHS’s efforts to review and refine the nation’s collaborative approach to homeland security.

The QHSR mission study groups have further delineated the homeland security goals from the first dialogue into objectives.

We are asking you to prioritize these mission objectives and tell us how you think these objectives might be achieved.

The Risk and Planning & Capabilities study groups have also further refined their thinking, and are interested in stakeholder feedback on specific, tough questions they are currently considering.

The content you will see is the actual work product of the QHSR study groups; it is not final, vetted DHS policy. Your comments will feed directly into the study groups’ deliberations as they frame options for homeland security decision makers.

Added:
*REMINDER: DEPARTMENT OF HOMELAND SECURITY'S ONLINE COMMENT FORUM OPEN UNTIL WEDNESDAY NIGHT

Labor Day may have ended, but the National Dialogue on the Quadrennial Homeland Security Review will be open until Wednesday, September 9th! Log on today and tomorrow and give DHS your input on its homeland security objectives and priorities.
