Counter-Terrorism: National Priorities and the Federal Plan of Action (1999 Region III Chemical Emergency Preparedness & Prevention Conference)
The following is an overview of this presentation on counter-terrorism: CT Timeline; National CT Program including Domestic Preparedness
Program, and DOJ/FBI, FEMA, HHS, DoD, DoE, and EPA; CT Grant Programs; and a conclusion. The conclusion states that the potential for a large NBC terrorist incident is becoming more real; NBC incidents are also hazmat incidents and require very similar hazmat response; EPA brings the existing system for hazmat response, and coordination experience with state and local responders, to the federal response terrorism event; and many incidents may not require activation of the full system and responders must be prepared for these
situations.

Congressional Budget Office: S. 333, National Cybersecurity Preparedness Consortium Act of 2019
From the Document: "S. 333 would authorize the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) to coordinate with a consortium to assist state and local governments to prepare for and respond to cybersecurity risks. Since 2014, the department has awarded $13 million in grants to members of the National Cybersecurity Preparedness Consortium to deliver cybersecurity training and technical assistance to state and local governments. CBO [Congressional Budget Office] expects that DHS would continue to provide a similar level of support under S. 333. CBO estimates that DHS would provide $3 million in new grant funding each year; such spending would be subject to the availability of appropriated funds. In total, implementing S. 333 would cost $18 million over the 2019-2024 period."

National Preparedness: Actions Taken by FEMA to Implement Select Provisions of the Post-Katrina Emergency Management Reform Act of 2006
"On August 29, 2005, and in the ensuing days, Hurricanes Katrina, Rita, and Wilma devastated the Gulf Coast region of the United States. Hurricane Katrina alone affected more than a half-million people located within approximately 90,000 square miles spanning Louisiana, Mississippi, and Alabama; ultimately resulted in over 1,600 deaths; and triggered one of the largest natural disaster relief and recovery operations in U.S. history. In the wake of these hurricanes, we and others issued reports and made recommendations related to the federal response to these events, concluding that the government was not adequately prepared to respond to catastrophic incidents. In October 2006, the Post-Katrina Emergency Management Reform Act of 2006 (Post-Katrina Act) was enacted. […] Given the importance of proper implementation of the act and the need for a unified, coordinated national incident management system capable of preparing for and responding to natural and man-made disasters, including catastrophic disasters, you requested that we review the status of implementation of five select provisions of the Post-Katrina Act related to the development of plans, exercises, capabilities, reports, and presidential certification of federal preparedness. This report describes the actions FEMA has taken to address these select Post-Katrina Act provisions. On September 5, 2013, we briefed you on our overall findings (see enclosures I through V)."

Serial No. 112-25: Tsunami Warning, Preparedness, Interagency Cooperation: Lessons Learned, Hearing Before the Subcommittee on National Security, Homeland Defense and Foreign Operations of the Committee on Oversight and Government Reform, House of Representatives, One Hundred Twelfth Congress, First Session, April 14, 2011
From the opening statement of Jason Chaffetz: "This is an important topic that literally would affect millions of people's lives. Hopefully it will never come to that. Hopefully it is just a lesson in preparedness. But when that disaster, if, and hopefully it doesn't ever happen, the work that you are doing now and the preparation is vital to our country and the lives and safety of so many Americans and people around the world. Fifty thousand people were dead or went missing and millions more were suddenly homeless in 11 countries. Our Pacific states and territories are also in reach of the damaging effects of tsunamis. According to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric administration, the contiguous United States has suffered from tsunamis originating in Chile, Japan, Russia and Alaska. In 2009, American Samoa was struck by a tsunami that killed 22 people. That is why we are here today. This subcommittee will examine the extent to which the Federal Government is capable of determining the threat from tsunamis, can issue timely and effective warnings about a tsunami and has the plans in place to respond to a tsunami. Also, the subcommittee will look at how successful the Federal Government is in helping local and State authorities develop tsunami-resilient communities, and how these entities conduct public outreach. We will also examine lessons learned from Japan and the extent to which they can be applied." Statements, letters, and materials submitted for the record include those of the following: William Leith, Mary Glackin, Nancy Ward, Kenneth Murphy, John W. Madden, Jason Chaffetz, and John F. Tierney.
