The 2018 Quadrennial Homeland Security Review

The Quadrennial Homeland Security Review (QHSR) is the Department of Homeland Security's capstone strategy document, which is updated every four years as required by law.  The report offers recommendations on long-term strategy and priorities for homeland security.  Each QHSR cycle entails an extensive three-year-long review process before the report is finalized and submitted to Congress.  The Department strives to make the QHSR as thorough and inclusive as possible by working with a wide range of stakeholders inside and outside government, who share responsibility for safeguarding the Homeland.  The QHSR will provide the strategic foundation to ensure that the Department is ready to meet future challenges.
