NPM Journal Comment Policy

The purpose of this Journal is to provide a forum for citizens to talk about the events and initiatives taking place during National Preparedness Month. Comments submitted to the NPM Journal will be reviewed before posting. We expect all contributors to be respectful. We will not post comments that contain personal attacks of any kind; offensive terms that target specific ethnic or racial groups; or vulgar language. We will not post comments that are spam, are clearly off topic or that promote services or products. Comments that make unsupported accusations will also not be posted.

While we will make our best effort to post comments that do not violate the Comment Policy immediately, there are instances where it may take several hours for comments to appear. For example, comments posted overnight will be reviewed the next day.

To protect your own privacy and the privacy of others, please do not include phone numbers or email addresses in the body of your comment.

Any opinions expressed here, except as specifically noted, are those of the individual authors or commenters and do not necessarily represent the views or policies of the U.S. Department of Homeland Security.

Thanks for reviewing the National Preparedness Month Journal comment policy.
