Outreach News 9/28/2010

1. Attached is the Department of Homeland Security’s Office of Emergency Communications (OEC) new publication, the Emergency Communications Forum (ECF). What is the ECF? Formerly the Emergency Communications Quarterly, the ECF is the latest evolution of OEC’s stakeholder outreach efforts. The ECF engages and informs emergency responders; policy makers; and Federal, State, local, and tribal officials about issues and events that directly affect everyday nationwide emergency communications. The launch of the ECF has been guided by stakeholder feedback and is an effort to provide timely and relevant content. As OEC prepares for future editions please let them know what you think along the way at OEC@hq.dhs.gov.
