Stafford Act Assistance and Acts of Terrorism
Author: Bruce R. Lindsay
Publisher: Createspace Independent Publishing Platform
ISBN: 9781548405892
Category :
Languages : en
Pages : 40
Book Description
Some may argue that terrorist incidents warrant the wider range of assistance provided by a major disaster declaration, and advocate for changes to the Stafford Act and FEMA policies to make all acts of terrorism eligible for major disaster assistance. Others may disagree and argue that Stafford Act should not be altered for the following reasons: 1) regardless of cause, state and local governments should be the main source of assistance if damages are limited; 2) if the incident does not qualify for major disaster assistance, it could still be eligible for limited assistance under an emergency declaration.

Preparing for Terrorism
Author: Institute of Medicine
Publisher: National Academies Press
ISBN: 0309169364
Category : Political Science
Languages : en
Pages : 330
Book Description
The Metropolitan Medical Response System (MMRS) program of the U. S. Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS) provides funds to major U. S. cities to help them develop plans for coping with the health and medical consequences of a terrorist attack with chemical, biological, or radiological (CBR) agents. DHHS asked the Institute of Medicine (IOM) to assist in assessing the effectiveness of the MMRS program by developing appropriate evaluation methods, tools, and processes to assess both its own management of the program and local preparedness in the cities that have participated in the program. This book provides the managers of the MMRS program and others concerned about local capabilities to cope with CBR terrorism with three evaluation tools and a three-part assessment method. The tools are a questionnaire survey eliciting feedback about the management of the MMRS program, a table of preparedness indicators for 23 essential response capabilities, and a set of three scenarios and related questions for group discussion. The assessment method described integrates document inspection, a site visit by a team of expert peer reviewers, and observations at community exercises and drills.
