U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Ideas

First - Thank You for laying out such a GREAT Plan for building an Emergency Preparedness kit.

Situation: Adding a weeks worth of Medication to the kit. If a persons pulls a weeks worth of med's from their bottles, this could lead them to come up short, and need to refill before the actual refill date. The pharmacy's may not go along with this need.

Solution: At Least once a year - Having some sort of authorization... more »

Conflict resolution is a crucial tool in today's society. No we're is this more evident then in our Military and Policing , we're resolving conflicts often result in the use of deadly force. We no that resolving conflicts are very important in society for the safety and wellbeing of ourselves and other's.

In law enforcement and the military , conflict resolution often involves violence or necessary use of lethal force... more »

The very people that are in power to protect the mass public are the very people that will be charged in forming in support of a Coup. These very elected ingrates will be pulled from their seats in the government they failed, and they will be tried for treason in support of congregation, building, supporting, and fueling the Coup. The innocent hard working and legal citizens being affected of any and all violent disturbances... more »

Hello,

Currently I am taking an anti terrorism centered degree but couldn't help to think that the real security issue for the United States is the government and companies. It takes more effort to realize that a person's thinking can be wrong and have negative effects. Political corruption has more impact on the security of a nation then terrorism. The United States isn't defined by the government but by the people.... more »

I am not an expert in medical field but thought of sharing my ideas anyway based on some common knowledge and experience.

We should look into to using natural and known remedies as this COVID-19 virus is a part of the nature where we all live in. Some recent tests have discovered that this virus doesn't survive in hot conditions or hot temperatures. The solution is to build hot chambers like sauna rooms for the patients... more »

Since we know ticks and mosquitos already transmit viruses(Rocky Mountain spotted fever, West Nile and Lyme disease to name just a few.of the dozens that are transmittable through a bite) to humans, we need to know if Covid 19 can be transmitted in this fashion too.

If it is found to be transmittable in this fashion a further lockdown may be required along with possible pest management in high population areas.

URGENT regarding possible substitution for the N95 mask

I recommend performing a test on the efficacy of using a disposable diaper (toddler size) in lieu of an N95 mask for all health care workers and first responders. I performed a fit test, and I was able to create a sufficient seal using just a diaper (and the included velcro straps). Note: disposable diapers are made of non-woven synthetic material just like N95... more »

Amid the COVID-19 pandemic, Americans will be afraid to go to the voting booths for the primaries and general election. As such, states will need to prepare for an influx of absentee and vote-by-mail ballots. processing and verifying these ballots is going to be a monstrous task, especially for states and counties that typically receive very little absentee ballots. With automatic signature verification of ballots, counties... more »

As a Medicare contracted Homecare Provider we are required to develop and maintain an emergency preparedness plan. The emergency is here. DHS should mobilize and procure and provide the N95 masks and personal protective equipment needed for Health Care providers of the (elderly).

PURPOSE:
Show schools how to create a free preparedness digital reference library to support their preparedness endeavors!
-
WHY:
Statistics and material facts inform us that incidents begin at the local level, and end at the local level, and therefore, a variety of preparedness endeavors have targeted community preparedness. Schools typically engage in preparations and often conduct drills to bolster student readiness... more »

PURPOSE:

This is a very basic discussion of some real world U.S. statistics that may imply that the majority of private sector small businesses have time or money constraints that adversely impact preparedness. All statistics used below come from U.S. Government agencies such as weather subject... more »

Is the DHS doing anything at all to prepare as well as protect our nation from an EMP attack? If not, why not? Something this serious should NEVER be ignored!! An EMP attack could wipe out our power grid leaving us without electricity for many months, possibly years! This event or weapon, commonly known as an EMP, creates a short burst of electromagnetic energy that can disrupt or even destroy electronic devices and systems,... more »
