  The Department of Homeland Security's Office of Inspector General will no longer issue preliminary reports on the Federal Emergency Management Agency's initial responses to disasters.

Last week, the watchdog took the extraordinary step last week of pulling a dozen largely positive assessments of the Obama administration's initial response to several disasters.
