Secretary of Homeland Security wants to hear from YOU!

- ATTENTION SCHOLARS AND RESEARCHERS -

DHS has launched the National Dialogue on the QHSR and we wanted to ensure that we hear from you. Join the Dialogue NOW!

The U.S. Department of Homeland Security wants to hear from you and your members during the second National Dialogue on the Quadrennial Homeland Security Review (QHSR). As a member of the academic community, you have a unique view of government, both as an insightful analytic researcher and as an outside observer. The QHSR is a congressionally mandated, top-to-bottom review of homeland security that will guide and inform the nation's homeland security policies for the next four years. The QHSR has the potential to shape the broader homeland security missions of the nation and thus will have a great impact on your future research and publications.


Beginning Monday, August 31st through Sunday, September 6th, you have the opportunity to engage in an interactive online dialogue on homeland security. You can prioritize and comment on the proposed objectives and discuss what must be done to achieve them in the following areas: Borders, Counterterrorism, Disasters, Immigration, Planning, and Risk. Attached is a fact sheet providing more information on the National Dialogue on the QHSR; an additional source of information is www.dhs.gov/QHSR.

Strong participation from the academic community will add great value to this effort. Here's how you can get involved:

  1. Participate from August 31 until September 6! The second National Dialogue is now live until Sunday, September 6. Join the conversation at http://www.homelandsecuritydialogue.org/.
  2. Spread the word! Forward this announcement to your professional contacts and to those with an interest in the homeland security field at large. Also follow us on Twitter, Facebook, Govloop!

Thanks again for all your help and support. If you or any of your members have any questions with the QHSR and/or National Dialogue on the QHSR, please feel free to direct them to me or qhsr@dhs.gov.
