GAO's Latest on Domestic Terrorism

The General Accounting Office published today its April 9 report to Congress, "Combating Terrorism: Threat and Risk Assessments Can Help Prioritize and Target Program Investments." It reviews the status of the domestic preparedness program, and recommends that for continued funding cities be required to perform threat and risk assessments. There's interesting discussion about the Feds sharing sensitive intelligence with locals. And, FEMA questions if it will be legal to require cities to perform the assessments. The report is available from GAO in PDF format: http://www.gao.gov/new.items/ns98074.pdf (363K) We offer an HTML conversion: http://jya.com/nsiad-98-74.htm (78K + 4 images)
