DHS Announces $1.7 Billion Available for Local Homeland Security Programs

grant guidance and application kits for five grant programs that will total
roughly $1.7 billion in funding for state and local counterterrorism
efforts. With the fiscal year 2007 funding, the department will have
invested nearly $20 billion in local planning, organization, equipment,
training, and exercises.

National Dates for Boating Safety Tie-In for 2007

This detailed listing of events, along with suggested tie-ins to boating
safety and maritime domain awareness messages, will also serve as a valuable
tool for formulating a public affairs strategic plan for 2007.  The list
doesn't reflect any local events that also may present public affairs
opportunities.  

While it is not expected that every unit will have a corresponding public
affairs campaign or press release for every event, simply following this
list of suggestions will go a long way towards increasing public awareness
about our organization and key programs.

Updated Boat Show Guide for 2007

Prepared by Stu Soffer from the National Marketing Group, this Guide offers
a number of suggestions to help ensure that your boat show exhibits help
recruit new members, and result in an increase for our public education
classes and Vessel Safety Check programs.  It includes recommended lists of
materials to have on hand, and how to set up your exhibit to invite visitors
to see what we're about.  {Consult with your local chain of leadership and
management to make sure these suggestions are in line with local policies
for uniforms of the day and other matters}.  

By visiting HYPERLINK
"http://www.auxadept.org/training/exhibits.htm"http://www.auxadept.org/train
ing/exhibits.htm, you will also find links to a PowerPoint presentation and
video which can be viewed by those who will be staffing the boat show.

Check Out the Operations and Marine Safety Directorate Web Site

This site will feature the many issues where the Operations and Marine
Safety and Environmental Protection Departments collaborate.  Whether you
are conducting facility compliance checks or multi-mission patrols, you
provide direct support to the Coast Guard.  The OMS Directorate provides the
support that you need to meet the expectations of the Coast Guard.  This Web
site will provide you with additional resources to help get the job done.

Our first initiative is to support your efforts in Contingency Planning.  We
have searched for information and tools to help you plan and provide for
contingency or surge response.  However, we want to hear from you!  Your
experience in field level contingency operations is valuable and you have
much to share with the rest of the Auxiliary community.  I would encourage
everyone to contribute to our “Best Practices” forum and share your lessons
learned.
