Stephenson spots glaring omission in GAO report

David Stephenson

, who has done outstanding work on the issues which concern Popular Logistics,

has noticed that in a report using 23 criterai to evaluate the Department of Homeland Security, GAO entirely omits the promotion and recruitment of citizen responders.

Here’s Stephenson’s post .  I’m now not sure if reading this particular GAO report is worth the candle.

I regret not earlier posting about Stephenson’s important piece, written with Eric Bonabeau, Expecting the Unexpected: : The Need for a Networked Terrorism and Disaster Response Strategy, published in the Homeland Security Affairs Journal.

Our position on citizen response is this – any plan that doesn’t regard citizen response as central might contain useful tactics – but we submit that no such plan conceivably constitutes a useful strategy.
