A new report card- yes, another one, this time from the Council on Foreign Relations- grades the nation's homeland security efforts and finds the nation frighteningly under-prepared.
In particular, the new report card gives the Department of Homeland Security a C- in its ability to respond to disasters.
The other areas in which the Council on Foreign Relations graded homeland security efforts are as follows:
Port Security: D+
Nuclear Plant Security: B/B+
Air Defense: B
Airport Security: C+
Border Control and Immigration: C
Chemical Plant Security: D-/F
Disaster Response: C-
Bridges, Tunnels, and Other Infrastructure: C
