DHS OIG General Management Reports on NAO and FEMA

  • OIG-08-35 – Letter Report: National Applications Office Privacy Stewardship, Unclassified Summary (PDF, 3 pages – New 04/03/2008: “We evaluated the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) National Applications Office (NAO) privacy stewardship to determine whether the NAO is conducting activities to instill and promote a culture of privacy, and its planned operations are in compliance with privacy regulations. Privacy stewardship includes privacy integration in the program mission and strategic plans, established privacy requirements at the outset of program initiation, procedures and training for operational and staff accountability for privacy protections, and a privacy framework for internal control and external oversight.”
  • OIG-08-34 – FEMA’s Preparedness for the Next Catastrophic Disaster (PDF, 85 pages) – New 04/03/2008: “FEMA is spending millions of dollars on new initiatives and enhancements to its disaster management systems. These initiatives are critical to enhancing FEMA’s ability to better respond to disasters, but it is not clear that they are well-planned or integrated. It is also not clear that FEMA’s top management effectively communicates a vision and plans for these initiatives to staff or that there is clear ownership and accountability for each initiative.”
