Description: "To develop collaboration when multiple sovereign jurisdictions are co-located in the same area as is the case in the "Four Corners" region where Arizona*, Colorado, New Mexico and Utah converge with the Navajo, Hopi, Ute Mountain Ute, Southern Ute, Jicarilla Apache, and numerous Pueblo Tribal lands. The SAA in each state, Tribes, and US DHS officials have established a collaborative partnership to support planning efforts of an all hazards approach to Homeland Security for the Four Corner States. "The R-4C was created in collaboration with the National Native American Law Enforcement Association (NNALEA) and the National Congress of American Indians (NCAI). Outcomes: The R-4C will establish a holistic planning process resulting in the creation and implementation of standardized operating procedures, consistent response plans, and development of comprehensive training and exercise programs. This model for interstate and intrastate cooperation will serve as a national blueprint for replication in other interested regions throughout the USA".
