- OIG-08-61 – DHS Must Address Internet Protocol Version 6 Challenges (PDF, 14 pages): “We evaluated the Department of Homeland Securitys (DHS) transition to Internet Protocol Version 6 (IPv6). The Office of Management and Budget (OMB) requires federal agencies to demonstrate by June 2008, the capability to pass IPv6 traffic and support IPv6 addresses from the (1) Internet to their local area network; (2) their local area network to the Internet; and (3) their local area network to other local area networks. Our objective was to determine whether DHS is effectively managing its implementation of IPv6.”
- OIG-08-60 – Logistics Information Systems Need to Be Strengthened at the Federal Emergency Management Agency (PDF, 33 pages): “FEMAs existing information technology systems do not support logistics activities effectively. Specifically, the systems do not provide complete asset visibility of disaster goods, such as commodities and property, from their initial shipment to final distribution in disaster areas. The systems also do not provide comprehensive asset management; instead, several systems must be used to order, ship, and account for disaster goods. Additionally, the systems are not integrated and, therefore, cannot share information during disaster response. As a result, FEMA may be hindered in its ability to perform disaster response in an effective and timely manner.”
- OIG-08-27 – Status Report on Open Recommendations to DHS Components (PDF, 321 pages): “Our office issued 214 reports with 1,070 recommendations that, according
to our records, had not been implemented as of December 31, 2007. Of
the 1,070 recommendations, 27 were closed in January 2008. The largest
number of open recommendations was made to the Federal Emergency
Management Agency (FEMA). No other single DHS component accounts
for more than 12% of unimplemented recommendations.”
