Any agency that might hire from the positions should first determine how many are on the register and possibly ask to have them re-opened.

Homeland Security Mark

We are nearing completion of the plan. The next meeting is Jan. 17, 2003, at 1pm at MDC central office. MERGIS was drilled recently by SEMA. Mark participated. The drill was successful. MERGIS is now on the Internet and is available with a password. The criteria for granting passwords are being evaluated. Jim S. reported that the North Kansas City water supply was recently compromised, and a boil order was enacted. In a follow-up to the incident, it was exposed that most cities did not have digital information about their water system. The cities need money to develop digital data.
