Symposia Series and National Congress for Secure Communities

Stakeholders convene in Washington and regionally through the Symposia Series on
community resiliency and help plan the National Congress for Secure
Communities.  Click Here for a sample past agenda.  Sponsored by the Community
Institute on Preparedness, Response & Recovery (CIPRR) and the Corporate Crisis
Response Officers Association (CCROA) and other partners of the ReadyCommunities
Partnership, the Symposia Series brings together federal, state and local
officials, first responders, members of the media, business leaders, non-profit
organizations, academic experts, and pilot community leaders as participants to
develop recommendations for community, state and federal leadership.  The
participants also help develop the Partnership program, the agenda for the
National Congress for Secure Communities, and outline simple but effective pilot
demonstrations that leverage the assets of the private and community sectors to
augment the local public sector preparedness and response plan during the first
72 hours of crisis.



National Blueprint for Secure Communities
 
The Blueprint is a dynamic, ever-changing resource, written and compiled by
CIPRR and Kennedy School of Government/ Leadership for a Networked World
(KSG/LNW), with community sector leaders, responders and experts, that
identifies 1) the challenges facing communities during the first 72 hours of
crisis; 2) recommendations, ideas and best practices that might address the
challenges; and 3) tools that the private and community sectors can provide to
the public sector that augment and increase response and recovery capability.



For instance, in meetings with communities such as Galveston and Charleston, a
number of best practices were identified and entered into the National Blueprint
describing cross-sector collaborations that can be examples for other
communities which are exploring ways to forge new partnerships.  Click here

Building public/private partnerships to strengthen local preparedness
 
The CCROA National Advisory Board is working with the ReadyCommunities Advisory
Committee to develop recommendations that help support the public sector
response and recovery efforts. These recommendations are then examined by the
Community Institute for Preparedness, Response and Recovery to develop
public/private partnerships, best practices or simply collaborations between
jurisdictions and organizations that support each other during crisis through
mutual aid agreements. The output of CIPRR is then demonstrated through pilot
projects by CCROA and it's members and local partners.
Continuing the work of the Gilmore Commission
 
More formally known as the Advisory Panel to Assess Domestic Response
Capabilities for Terrorism Involving Weapons of Mass Destruction, the Gilmore
Commission spent 5 years assessing the state of readiness of the United States
to respond to terrorist incidents involving weapons of mass destruction.
Response capabilities at the Federal, State, and local levels were examined,
with a particular emphasis on the State and local levels.  The 5th and final
report of the Commission was issued in December of 2003, and called for a larger
role for the private and community sectors in preparing and responding during
the first critical 72 hours of crisis.  Click here to read more about the
Gilmore Commission or to download the reports.
