Although there is no requirement in the Disaster Mitigation Act of 2000 or any other FEMA program to incorporate terrorism into all-hazard mitigation planning, state and local governments are strongly encouraged to treat anti-terrorism as mitigation and establish or enhance the linkages between law enforcement/security, emergency management and other stakeholder organizations.
