From the White House Hurricane Katrina Lessons Learned Report: Lesson Learned: The Department of Homeland Security should develop a comprehensive program for the professional development and education of the Nation's homeland security personnel including Federal, state and local employees as well as emergency management persons within the private sector, nongovernmental organizations.This program should foster a joint Federal interagency, state, local and civilian team. Recommendation #112: Each Federal department and agency assigned specific homeland security roles should establish a homeland security professional development program that encompasses career assignments, education, exercises and training. Recommendation #116: DHS should establish a national Homeland Security University (NHSU) for senior officials that serves as a capstone to other educational and training opportunities.
