Does PEMA play a role in Homeland Security?
Most definitely. PEMA and the Office of the State Fire Commissioner, together with other state, county and local agencies, are deeply involved in training response forces to deal with terrorist incidents. Planners on the PEMA staff work extensively with counties to develop plans to minimize threats to our security. Our administrative personnel manage programs providing equipment to local responders. Most important, however, is the day-to-day coordination of information, plans and procedures relating to the commonwealth’s homeland security needs.
