President's Homeland Security Advisory Counsel: Statewide Template Initiative

摘要

The primary objective of the Statewide Template Initiative (STI) is to assist state and local and tribal authorities in their development of coordinated and comprehensive Homeland Security plans. The Template's questions, which were developed by leaders of state and local governments and emergency response community, provide a foundation for the preparation of comprehensive and compatible state, local and tribal Homeland Security plans that maximize state and local terrorism prevention and response capabilities. The Template's questions (and additional questions posed by state and local officials) will expand and integrate existing homeland security planning to deal with terrorist attacks, no matter how unlikely or catastrophic, as well as all manner of natural disasters and other hazards.
