Source: Center for Strategic & International Studies
To be more agile, our bureaucracy must foster better decision making in Congress and in the interagency process, support the development of a new generation of professionals, and facilitate information sharing throughout all elements of the enterprise. Furthermore, to close the gaps where terrorists hide, we must empower individuals and communities and extend international cooperation throughout our homeland security activities. Each section of this report consists of findings and recommendations agreed upon by the task force. Major recommendations in the report include:
- Empowering a national culture of preparedness by focusing on building more self-reliant communities and individuals,
- Shifting to a strategy that is focused on building and sustaining a resilient national infrastructure,
- Expanding international cooperation throughout homeland security programs,
- Developing a framework for domestic intelligence, and
- Establishing national programs to improve professional development at all levels of governance on security and public safety.
