"....the Department's recently released National Preparedness Goals -- and additional, risk-based planning -- will form our standard in allocating future DHS grants to our state and local partners so that we build the right capabilities in the right places at the right level. Federal money should be distributed using the risk-based approach that we will apply to all preparedness activities". (DHS, Secretary Michael Chertoff U.S. Department of Homeland Security Second Stage Review Remarks, July 13, 2005)
