Homeland Security Technical Assistance Pro!!rams <br /> <br />DHS's technical assistance programs seeks to build and sustain State and local jurisdiction <br />capacity related to two primary functional areas: (1) overall homeland security program <br />management; and (2) priority preparedness activities (prevent, protect against, respond to, and <br />recover from major events, including threats or acts of terrorism). This two-pronged approach <br />ensures that technical assistance services measurably contribute to the enhancement of the <br />homeland security architecture within each State and local jurisdiction as well as the associated <br />preparedness capabilities housed therein. The technical assistance services designed, developed, <br />and delivered to State and local homeland security personnel address the spectrum of mission <br />areas, priorities, and capabilities outlined in the interim National Preparedness Goal. <br /> <br />In FY 2006, G&T will release the Homeland Security Virtual Assistance Center (HSV AC) <br />which will provide an on-line resource for grantees to access technical assistance offerings. For <br />additional information, see G&T's online TA site at httn://www.oio.usdoi.l!ov/odo/ta.htm under <br />the Catalog link or contact the CSID. <br /> <br />FA.
