DHS Website in Limbo During Shutdown

To be expected ... one less source of official information.

As we get ready for the new year, the sources for information on emergency management are a bit thinner with the Department of Homeland Security's (DHS) website shuttered during the budget impasse over the border wall with Mexico. It is one of the many impacts that will begin to be felt immediately in the new year as people try to access federal services that are shuttered. 

See Due to the Lapse in Federal Funding, This Website Will Not Be Actively Managed.

The Recovery Diva noted that she continues to maintain her website — without pay!!
