How FEMA Has Changed Since Hurricane Katrina
Image ImageThe city of New Orleans isn't the only thing that's had to revive itself in the five years since Hurricane Katrina. In the wake of Katrina, the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) was flattened as effectively as the city itself. In his weekly interview with Federal News Radio, Homeland Security Today Editor David Silverberg discusses how FEMA has revived and redefine itself since Katrina.

DEA Cites Homeland Security Today in Senate Judiciary Committee Hearing

45635113.jpg

MARCH 17, 2009—Testifying at a combined hearing of the Senate Judiciary Subcommittee on Crime and Drugs and the Senate Caucus on International Narcotics Control, Anthony Placido, intelligence chief for the Drug Enforcement Administration, holds up the February issue of Homeland Security Today magazine that contains the second part of a three-part investigative series on the brutal violence in Mexico. Homeland Security Today correspondents (writing from Mexico and the US border) and Brian Michael Jenkins have presented a comprehensive look at the struggle and how it affects the US. Mr. Placido reflected this in his testimony when he says the violence "has caused some, including Homeland Security [Today] magazine, to speculate about the likelihood of Mexico failing in its efforts. And, for our purposes, and by extension, created a discussion about whether the violence would spill over our southwest border at increased levels and with adverse consequences to US interests."
