State and Urban Area Homeland Security Strategies
State and Urban Area Homeland Security Strategies : "?State and Urban Area Homeland Security Strategies provide a context for performing the strategic exercise of asking "How are we organized?" and "How are we managing our homeland security programs?" This evaluation will enable us as a Nation to think about how we build our preparedness programs and capabilities within and across State boundaries?. States and Urban Areas were recently required to update their strategies to bring them into alignment with the seven National Priorities included in the Goal. The updated strategies address the four homeland security mission areas: prevent, protect, respond, and recover". (DHS/ODP, FY 2006 EMPG Program Guidance, 2005, p. 8)
