State Template Initiative
State Template Initiative : "The Template was built by state and local officials - those responsible for preventing, responding to, and recovering from the spectrum of terrorist threats and Homeland Security challenges that face the Nation in the 21st Century. The Template provides a common foundation for identifying and addressing key state and local vulnerability and capability shortfalls. This Template will be a useful tool in our effort to build and sustain the operational means by which we will make the Nation safer, stronger, and better". "The initiative provides states a foundation for preparing comprehensive and compatible state, local and tribal Homeland Security plans. The Template is consistent with and supports implementation of the "National Strategy for Homeland Security". It was designed "from the bottom up," recognizes that "one size does not fit all," and enables the emergency responders and state and local officials who bear the responsibility of preventing terrorist attacks and protecting the Nation and its citizens".
