BACKGROUND: Hearing with the Department of Homeland Security
Tribes Look to Become Full Partners in Homeland Security April 17, 2009 By Daniel Fowler, CQ Staff
THE HEART BEACON
Gary L. Edwards, CEO of the 900-strong NNALEA, said homeland security preparedness in Indian Country is a 3.5 on a scale of 1 to 10. Funding is a problem.
The Heart Beacon is intended to be a fee for service, self sustaining program specifically stipulated for Native American Indians
“The biggest reason for that low level score is that, generally speaking, the tribes do not have access to direct funding from DHS and the levels of funding they do receive from the federal government as a whole [are] inadequate for their respective homeland security needs,” he said.
The Heart Beacon is awaiting a response from the DHS based on a two year old unsolicited proposal. The Heart Beacon is in the publication patent pending phase.
Another problem he cites: the lack of a full partnership between DHS and Native Americans.
The Heart Beacon needs to be championed by the Native American Community as a project that simply leverages what the DHS has been doing on its hand held Blackberry devices since 2004 and for the last decade by the DOD.
. Q: At the hearing, you also you also expressed concern about the native American community’s participation in fusion centers. Can you talk about that problem and what needs to be done to rectify the situation?
The Heart Beacon resolves a currently irresolvable issue with the data centers: synchronous, scheduled time stamping of state meta data and event data collection prior to injection into the data centers helping to reduce the “live verses memorex” and “jitter” issue i.e., which is the authoritative source and report at high level EOCs?
