Blog launches
on DHS’ site
The U.S. Department of Homeland Security has launched The Blog @ Homeland Security, a new addition to the department’s Web presence, which, according to a June 15 announcement, is designed to increase transparency and facilitate the dialogue between DHS and the American public.
“The Blog reflects our ongoing commitment to communicate directly with the American people about the department’s efforts across the country and around the world,” said DHS Secretary Janet Napolitano.
The Blog will include frequent updates on the department’s activities, including breaking news, public events and new initiatives, according to the announcement.
The inaugural post – which may be found at www.dhs.gov/theblog – features a video message from Napolitano outlining the department’s five overarching responsibilities and an invitation for visitors to comment on and provide suggestions for The Blog.
M&BSN views The Blog as yet another favorable step being undertaken by DHS to engage the public and effectively communicate its messages using today’s popular electronic media.
