Hi Adam,
I'm not involved in the review process, but I'm part of the team that oversees all challenges on this site. Not all submissions will be published on the site, and there could be a number of reasons why a submission you're looking for is not publicly visible.
If the submission is later published and made visible, you'll receive an email informing you.
Thanks,Colin
Hi Watchingthesky,
Well, it's up to the person reviewing the submissions. I can't speak on their behalf so I stated there could be a "number of reasons". Im not going to speculate as to their reasons.
Please be aware that creating a submission doesn't guarantee publication on this site.
To clarify the process. After you create a submission, it goes into a queue for review. Someone looks at it and decides if it meets the eligibility requirements. Those requirements are usually stated on the site. Again, there is no guarantee that a submission will appear on the site to the public.
Hope that helps to clear things up,Colin
Some ideas were not were not good, but that is not a reason not to publish them. Some ideas are half good but that is not a reason to publish them. Some ideas are good, is a reason not to publish them?
If a map or grid of the current lay of the land of how much actual coverage FEMA has with its’ Citizens Corp/CERT programs there would be a heavy concentration in limited areas and no coverage in others. Local jurisdictions are allowed to mismanage FEMA’s and peoples good ideas all the time.
It has been a somewhat clever to have this type of approach when it appears that once the new funding cycles are engaged the same old groups with the same old service delivery systems will continue to take peoples good ideas and mess them up.
Let me add that local jurisdictions do a great job on infrastructure and mitigating risk factors related to buildings etc.
It is only in cases where I have seen vulnerable populations not included in the process that mitigates risk factors.

I'd be interested in knowing what the "number of reasons" are for not publishing a submission. Are submissions being screened out at this point?
