  This is the official English version website of the U.S. Department of Homeland Security's Ready campaign to promote all-hazards preparedness in the United States. "Launched in February 2003, Ready is a national public service advertising (PSA) campaign designed to educate and empower Americans to prepare for and respond to emergencies including natural and man-made disasters. The goal of the campaign is to get the public involved and ultimately to increase the level of basic preparedness across the nation. Ready and its Spanish language version Listo ask individuals to do three key things: get an emergency supply kit, make a family emergency plan, and be informed about the different types of emergencies that could occur and their appropriate responses."

• PREP Act and COVID-19: Limiting Liability for Medical Countermeasures [Updated January 13, 2022]

  Show summary     Open resource [pdf]     (open full abstract)

  From the Document: "To encourage the expeditious development and deployment of medical countermeasures during a public health emergency, the Public Readiness and Emergency Preparedness Act (PREP Act [hyperlink]) authorizes the Secretary of Health and Human Services (HHS) to limit legal liability for losses relating to the administration of medical countermeasures such as diagnostics, treatments, and vaccines. In a declaration effective February 4, 2020 (the HHS Declaration [hyperlink]), the Secretary of HHS (the Secretary) invoked the PREP Act and declared Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) to be a public health emergency warranting liability protections for covered countermeasures. Under the HHS Declaration and its amendments, covered persons are generally immune [hyperlink] from legal liability (i.e., they cannot be sued for money damages in court) for losses relating to the administration or use of covered countermeasures against COVID-19. The sole exception to PREP Act immunity is for death or serious physical injury caused by 'willful misconduct [hyperlink].' However, individuals who die or suffer serious injuries directly caused by the administration of covered countermeasures may be eligible [hyperlink] to receive compensation through the Countermeasures Injury Compensation Program [hyperlink]."

• Waater Infrastructure Risk Assessment: Increasing Security and Reliability by Design

  Show summary     Open resource [pdf]     (open full abstract)

  "National and international security challenges shifted with the end of the cold war. Scarcity of arable land, water, and other basic resources are now recognized as critical components of regional stability in many areas around the world. Water resources and the associated supply, treatment, and distribution infrastructures are important elements of national security that face a spectrum of threats. According to the President's Commission on Critical Infrastructure Protection, the nation is so dependent on our infrastructures that we must view them through a national security lens. Infrastructures are also essential to the nation's economic health and social well-being. Recent threats and isolated attacks on the water distribution system suggest a trend that could put our water infrastructures at risk. Foreign governments, disgruntled employees, terrorist groups, transnational crime syndicates, and vandals all pose potential threats to our nation's water systems."

• Taliban Government in Afghanistan: Background and Issues for Congress [November 2, 2021]

  Show summary     Open resource [pdf]     (open full abstract)

  From the Summary: "On September 7, 2021, the Taliban announced a 'caretaker government' to rule Afghanistan. The announcement came weeks after the Taliban, a Sunni Islamist extremist movement that ruled most of Afghanistan from 1996 until 2001, retook effective control of the country with the collapse of the U.S.-backed former Afghan government and its security forces amid the U.S. military departure. The Taliban's return to power comes almost 20 years after a U.S.-led military campaign deposed the group in response to its harboring of the international Islamist terrorist group Al Qaeda, which carried out the September 11, 2001, attacks. [...] As the Biden Administration and the 117th Congress consider the new situation in Afghanistan, a range of U.S. policy tools is potentially available. The prospect of U.S. recognition of, and establishment of diplomatic relations with, the Taliban government could provide some leverage over a Taliban that claims to want international legitimacy. Only the President may extend formal recognition to another government, but Congress can restrain, condition, or otherwise influence the implementation of recognition decisions."

  Show summary     Open resource [html]     (open full abstract)

  From the Webpage: "More than 18 months into the Covid-19 [coronavirus disease 2019] pandemic, most of the Pacific remains under strict self-imposed isolation. While border closures have protected many island countries from the global spread of the virus, there have been profound social and economic ramifications for the region. Much like the rest of the world, the equitable supply, distribution and uptake of Covid-19 vaccines throughout the Pacific will be the critical determining factor in the region finding a new and durable post-Covid normal. This Interactive provides country-specific modelling of Covid-19 vaccination rates for each Pacific Island Country, using data available to October 2021. The Interactive employs a range of static data, detailed in the Methodology, to generate for the first time a robust model for each of the Pacific Island Countries (PICs)."

• Navy LPD-17 Flight II and LHA Amphibious Ship Programs: Background and Issues for Congress [Updated October 19, 2021]

  Show summary     Open resource [pdf]     (open full abstract)

  From the Summary: "This report discusses two types of amphibious ships being procured for the Navy: LPD [Landing Platform Docks]-17 Flight II class amphibious ships and LHA [Landing Helicopter Assault]-type amphibious assault ships. Both types are built by Huntington Ingalls Industries/Ingalls Shipbuilding (HII/Ingalls) of Pascagoula, MS. Section 124 of the FY2021 National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) (H.R. 6395/P.L. 116-283 of January 1, 2021) provides authority for the Navy to use a block buy contract for the procurement of three LPD-17 class ships and one LHA-type amphibious assault ship. One issue for Congress is whether to approve, reject, or modify the Navy's FY2022 procurement funding requests for the LPD-17 Flight II and LHA programs. The Navy's proposed FY2022 budget requests $60.6 million in procurement funding to complete the procurement cost of the second LPD-17 Flight II class ship, LPD-31, and $68.6 million in procurement funding to help fund the procurement cost of the amphibious assault ship LHA-9."

From the opening statement of Zoe Lofgren: "Record high case backlogs and policy changes that make it harder to obtain immigration benefits are extremely important matters that deserve careful attention. These are profound problems that have a direct impact on countless individuals, families, students, business, and other entities, such as hospitals and research institutions. I am sure that others on this Subcommittee will agree when I say that we hear about these issues from constituents on an almost daily basis. Although USCIS [U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services] has struggled with processing delays and backlogs since its creation, the agency reports that the current net backlog, as of April 2019, stands at more than 2.4 million cases. [...] This hearing will provide an opportunity to dig deeper into these stories and examine how USCIS processing delays impact everyday people. We will also explore with our first panel of witnesses what is causing these delays and how USCIS plans to bring processing times back down to reasonable levels."

  Show summary     Open resource [pdf]     (open full abstract)

  From the Executive Summary: "Increasing access to and utilization of alternative modes of transportation is critical to reducing the public health impacts from exposure to harmful air pollution and decreasing greenhouse gases (GHGs) that are contributing to climate change. [...] Historically, communities of color and people with lower-incomes have relied heavily on public transit for basic survival needs such as going to and from work and obtaining food and necessities. These same communities have suffered disproportionately from the impact of COVID-19 [coronavirus disease 2019] - in part because overrepresentation in 'essential jobs' increases risk of contracting coronavirus and because unequal exposure to air pollution has contributed to underlying health conditions making them more susceptible to having worse coronavirus-related health outcomes.[...] Focusing on three Houston communities hit hard by the pandemic, our team conducted four distinct activities to better understand how COVID [coronavirus] affected residents' transportation use in our region: virtual focus groups with community members from each of the three focus areas; quantitative and qualitative data analysis of results from the focus groups and from various transportation, air quality, and social vulnerability data; a literature review; and a series of interviews with regional 'stakeholders' - elected officials, planners, and public policy professionals."

  "The Commission on Peace Officer Standards and Training (POST) was established by the Legislature in 1959 to set minimum selection and training standards for California law enforcement. The POST organization, with more than 130 staff members, functions under the direction of an Executive Director appointed by the Commission. POST funding comes from the Peace Officers' Training Fund (POTF). The POTF receives monies from the State Penalty Assessment Fund, which in turn receives monies from penalty assessments on criminal and traffic fines. Therefore, the POST program is funded primarily by persons who violate the laws that peace officers are trained to enforce. No tax dollars are used to fund the POST program. The POST program is voluntary and incentive-based. Participating agencies agree to abide by the standards established by POST. The more than 600 agencies in the POST program are eligible to receive the Commission's services and benefits, such as job-related assessment tools, research into improved officer selection standards, management counseling services, the development of new training courses, reimbursement for training, and quality leadership training programs. POST also awards professional certificates to recognize peace officer achievement and proficiency."
