DHS Announces Proposed Standards for Private Sector Preparedness (PS-PREP) program

DHS has just published a notice in the Federal Register seeking public comment on three new standards identified for adoption under the Voluntary Private Sector Preparedness Accreditation and Certification Program (PS-Prep).  Those of you who attended our Summer 2009 Quarterly meeting will recall that we were alerted to this upcoming event.

PS-Prep is a partnership between DHS and the private sector that enables private entities--including businesses, non-profit organizations and universities--to receive emergency preparedness certification from a DHS/FEMA accreditation system created in coordination with the private sector.
