When do you have time to read all the national publications that come out? Personally I struggle to keep up with it all. The two documents I've got to get to are the Quadrennial Homeland Security Review and now the National Disaster Recovery Framework

FEMA put out a news release on the Framework and also the deadline for submitting comments. At least the document is several hundred pages long.

I did look at the membership on the working group for this project. You have the Secretary of Homeland Security, but FEMA representation is not listed. Hmm, even in the Bush Administration they recognized the role that FEMA plays in disaster recovery.

The other interesting item of note is the term "Framework." Which says to me that it is not a plan. But then, we have the National Response Framework, and it too is "not a plan."

I'll get back to you on this after I peruse the document.
