"As Catchegory documented, Al Neri, editor of The Insider, a newsletter about Pennsylvania politics, noted in June 2003 that Sherwood is "a former
Ridge confidant and administration official" who was "tapped to create and manage a new Fed website -- www.firstresponder.gov -- a key Bush Administration public outreach program." (Firstresponder.gov is not yet operational. According to the American Public Works Association, it was supposed to be live by March 2004, but it has apparently been delayed.)"

Website To Focus On Public Works
APWA HELPING DEVELOP FIRST RESPONDER CONTENT
The Office of Domestic Preparedness within the Department of Homeland Security has asked APWA to help it develop content for a new website, http://www.firstresponder.gov. On the site, public works is identified as a primary emergency responder and APWA will supply content pertinent to public works officials.
Expert discussions, polls, online courses and other content to help first responders prepare for and respond to a terrorist event will be included. The site is not yet operational but is scheduled to be available to the public March 1, 2004.
