Question: 1. provide me with an overview of the weblink 'Center for Homeland Defense and Security'.
The private sector and homeland security How the private sector contributes to the fight against terrorism and homeland defense is a story worth telling. And, as noted earlier, the synergies and connectedness of these public and private systems seem to most clearly coalesce when applied to the homeland. The public system is simply incapable of handling the draconian task of homeland security alone. Since 9/11, governmental agencies have urged the participation of not only state and local governments, but also the active input and involvement of the general citizenry. On top of this, there has been a continuous push for private business and commercial entities to be involved and an expectation that much of the American economy would need to be active players in the fight against terrorism. For example, America's chemical, water, utility, and nuclear sectors would have to be aggressively involved in the defense of their facilities, and thus the country itself. Commercial interests could not simply wait for the government to do it all but instead had to jump into the mix of deterrence and prevention of terror.
Question: 2. Nemeth discusses the strategy implementation chart. Provide me an overview of it.
Strategy implementation chart. G&T fulfills this mission through a series of program efforts responsive to the specific requirements of state and local agencies. G&T works directly with emergency responders and conducts assessments of state and local needs and capabilities to guide the development and execution of these programs. Assistance provided by G&T is directed at a broad spectrum of state and local emergency responders, including firefighters, emergency medical services, emergency management agencies, law enforcement, and public officials. G&T attends to this mission in a variety of ways by providing grants to states and local jurisdictions, providing hands-on training through a number of residential training facilities and in-service training at the local level, funding and working with state and local jurisdictions to plan
and execute exercises, and providing technical assistance on-site to state and local jurisdictions. In many respects, the office fervently addresses Homeland Security Presidential Directive 8, which encourages all agencies of government to be prepared, train their personnel, and establish a national program and a multiyear planning system to conduct homeland security preparedness-related exercises that reinforce identified training standards, provide for evaluation of readiness, and support the national preparedness goal. The establishment and maintenance of the program will be conducted in maximum collaboration with state and local governments and appropriate private sector entities.
