Central America: USAID Assists Migrants Returning to Their Home Countries, but Effectiveness of Reintegration Efforts Remains to Be Determined, Report to Congressional Requesters
"In 2014, instability driven by insecurity, lack of economic opportunity, and weak governance led to a rapid increase of unaccompanied alien children (UAC) from El Salvador, Guatemala, and Honduras arriving at the U.S. border. In fiscal year 2017, the Department of Homeland Security reported (DHS) apprehending more than 200,000 nationals from these countries and removed nearly 75,000 nationals, including UAC, of these countries from the United States and returned them to their home countries. Current estimates also indicate nearly 350,000 individuals may need to be reintegrated to El Salvador and Honduras over the next few years when their Temporary Protected Status in the United States expires. GAO [Government Accountability Office] was asked to review U.S. efforts to support the reintegration of Central American migrants. This report describes (1) USAID [United States Agency for International Development] efforts to assist reception and reintegration of migrants from El Salvador, Guatemala, and Honduras into their home countries since fiscal year 2014; and (2) what is known about the effectiveness of these efforts. GAO reviewed agency program documents and funding data; interviewed officials from U.S. government agencies, IOM [International Organization For Migration], and host governments and beneficiaries; and conducted site visits in these countries. GAO is not making any recommendations in this report. USAID and IAF [Inter-American Foundation] provided formal comments, which are reproduced in this report, and all agencies provided technical comments, which were incorporated as appropriate."

Task Force on Survivable Logistics: Executive Summary
"The Defense Science Board (DSB) Task Force on Survivable Logistics was established to evaluate the current state of the U.S. military's Joint Logistics Enterprise (JLEnt), to assess high-end threats to the JLEnt from strategic competitors such as Russia and China, and to provide recommendations for securing and sustaining the JLEnt in an increasingly contested global security environment. Since the end of the Cold War, the United States has not fought an adversary capable of the catastrophic disruption of military supply chains and deployment of personnel and materiel. As a result, the JLEnt has suffered neglect and chronic underfunding relative to other DoD priorities. Simultaneously, the ability of strategic competitors to threaten the JLEnt has increased as they invest in anti-access/area denial (A2AD) capabilities and gray zone tactics. Upon completion of the study, the Task Force found that survivable logistics are essential for continued U.S. power projection and readiness against strategic competitors. However, DoD logistics capabilities require renewed attention to ensure they will be able to achieve mission success in a contested environment. Without a demonstrably resilient and survivable logistics capability, U.S. deterrence will suffer and the ability of the U.S. military to operate globally will be at stake."

Sheltering in Danger: How Poor Emergency Planning and Response Put Nursing Home Residents at Risk During Hurricanes Harvey and Irma
"Every time a hurricane strikes the United States, hundreds of thousands, even millions, of people face a difficult decision: heed the warnings of local officials and evacuate the area, or ride out the storm by 'sheltering in place.' This decision can be a matter of life or death, especially for people living in low-lying areas vulnerable to flooding and storm surges. For nursing homes and assisted living facilities entrusted to take care of frail residents with complex medical needs, the decision to evacuate or shelter-in-place takes on even greater weight. Administrators of these facilities are not only considering their own safety, but that of residents unable to fend for themselves, and the staff who care for them. Many nursing homes and assisted living facilities chose to shelter-in-place when hurricanes Harvey and Irma struck Texas and Florida, respectively, late in the summer of 2017. While most of these facilities weathered the storms without incident, the exceptions were glaring and tragic. [...] This report examines the decisions that were made before, during and after the 2017 storms, as well as gaps in federal regulations currently on the books. It makes recommendations on how to avoid these types of tragedies in the future."

Winter Residential Building Fires (2014-2016)
"Each year, from 2014 to 2016, fire departments responded to an estimated 108,200 fires in residential buildings during the months of January, February and March across the nation. These fires resulted in an estimated annual average of 980 deaths, 3,575 injuries, and $1.9 billion in property loss. The residential building portion of the fire problem is of great national importance as it accounts for the vast majority of civilian casualties, and winter residential building fires account for a considerable portion of that."

NIH Medical Research Program Directed Against Chemical Threats: 2017 Report on Research Progress and Future Directions
"The general health threat posed by chemical agents has created numerous challenges for many departments and agencies across the U.S. government. Unlike infectious diseases and radiological and nuclear exposures, where a latent period may allow for prophylactic measures to be instituted prior to the manifestation of clinical symptoms, injuries from chemical exposures can occur rapidly with immediate casualties and fatalities. Many of these toxic chemicals or their precursors may be easily procured or manufactured undetected. Some of these chemicals do not even require specialized scientific expertise or knowledge for their synthesis and use. In addition, the sheer number and variety of chemicals that pose a health risk to civilians is especially daunting. [...] It is impractical to develop specific medical countermeasures (MCMs) against every dangerous chemical available, so a prioritization system is necessary to focus MCM research and development efforts. As such, the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Chemical Security Analysis Center (CSAC) was tasked with analyzing and prioritizing chemicals that have been deemed to be threats to civilians. In support of this prioritization effort, CSAC developed the Chemical Terrorism Risk Assessment (CTRA) and Chemical Infrastructure Risk Assessment (CIRA) programs, which use probabilistic risk assessments to quantify and prioritize chemical risk. [...] The purpose of this report is to provide an update on the progress of NIH's [National Institutes of Health] chemical MCM research and early development program between fiscal years 2011 and 2017 and offer insight into future directions."
