Blueprint for the National Domestic Preparedness Office

Abstract

This document puts forth a "blueprint" for the NDPO; a single coordinating office and information clearinghouse for federal assistance programs; to better prepare state and local officials to respond to WMD acts of terrorism within the United States. By providing a venue for a full and sustained partnership of the federal agencies responsible for WMD crisis and consequence management, and their state and local emergency management, public health and medical counterparts, the NDPO will seek to promote the highest level of national domestic preparedness, using existing mechanisms among state, local and federal agencies.
