Terrorism Readiness in California : The Office of Homeland Security, Governor's Office of Emergency Services, and California Guard Need to Improve Their Readiness to Address Terrorism

Concerns the readiness of the Governor's Office of Emergency Services (OES) & the CA Nat. Guard (NG) to respond to terrorist events in CA. Although both agencies have developed plans that adequately guide their response to terrorist events, OES has not included a prevention element in the State's terrorism response plan. Also, OES does not always identify the critical training that staff in the operations centers need to effectively complete their duties, nor does it regularly develop & administer state-level terrorism readiness exercises with other state & local agencies as required by the terrorism response plan. Also, the NG has not provided all of the training its staff in its Joint Operations Center needs to adequately respond to terrorism mission.Howle, Elaine M. is the author of 'Terrorism Readiness in California : The Office of Homeland Security, Governor's Office of Emergency Services, and California Guard Need to Improve Their Readiness to Address Terrorism', published 2003 under ISBN 9780756737016 and ISBN 075673701X.
