Statement by Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano
The Department of Homeland Security continues to extend sympathy for our Haitian neighbors and support the worldwide relief effort underway in every way we can. Four Coast Guard cutters have arrived in Haiti, in addition to a variety of Coast Guard assets that were already in the area to support military air traffic control, conduct damage assessments and rescue people in need of assistance. FEMA continues to work closely with USAID and the State Department and the entire Department stands ready to receive evacuees safely and securely in the United States.
