Culture of Preparedness 5
Culture of Preparedness 5 :
"This Culture rests on four principles. (1) The first principle of our Culture of Preparedness is a shared acknowledgement that creating a prepared Nation will be an enduring challenge..... (2) The second principle is the importance of individual and collective initiative to counter fundamental biases toward reactive responses and approaches..... (3) The third principle is that individual citizens, communities, the private sector, and non-profit organizations each perform a central role in homeland security.....(4) The fourth principle of our Culture of Preparedness is the responsibility of each level of government in fostering a prepared Nation". (White House, National Strategy for Homeland Security, Homeland Security Council, October 2007, pp. 41-42)
