Project Responder: Technology Opportunities for Implementing the National Incident Management System. October 2005.
- "The DHS Science and Technology Directorate continues to evaluate how the changing environment affects the needs of emergency responders. Thus, DHS tasked Project Responder to examine the implications of these policies and issues toward responder needs, as well as technology opportunities for emergency response to catastrophes. This report describes emergency responder needs and potential opportunities for implementing the NIMS. In response, Project Responder has spent the last year exploring the needs of emergency responders and managers in preparing for, and managing, large and complex incidents in the context of the NIMS. The purpose was to gain insight into where the DHS can best help state and local emergency services implement the NIMS, and deal with incidents of national significance through the Department's investments in technology."

When Terrorism Hits Home: How Prepared Are State and Local Law Enforcement? 2004.
- "In 1995, on behalf of the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ), the RAND Corporation conducted a study to assess how prepared state and local law enforcement agencies were for domestic terrorism. In 2002, RAND conducted a follow-up study to assess state and local law enforcement agencies' current preparedness for terrorism in general. The survey was undertaken just prior to the formation of the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS). Thus, it provides an important benchmark for assessing future investments in preparedness. This report presents the results of the 2002 survey for state and local law enforcement agencies conducted one year after the 9/11 attacks and just prior to the formation of DHS." A paperback copy can also be ordered.
