A governor's guide to homeland security

"A Governor's Guide to Homeland Security was written to provide governors with an overview of their homeland security roles and responsibilities and to offer some guidance on how to approach issues such as mutual aid, information sharing, obtaining assistance from the military, and protecting critical infrastructure. The Guide draws heavily on the experiences of governors who have managed during emergencies and disasters of all sizes and on the lessons learned by states in the years since the September 11 attacks. The homeland security waterfront is extremely broad, encompassing policy areas as diverse as border security, public health preparedness, and telecommunications. An encyclopedic guide would be voluminous. This document focuses on areas governors must immediately be aware of and the resources they are most likely to rely on during the initial response to an incident. Other National Governors Association Center for Best Practices publications complement this guide by focusing more closely on individual subject areas such as energy assurance, intelligence fusion, pandemic influenza preparedness, and the use of technology to enhance homeland security."--Excerpted from Foreword, p. 3.
