A Message from the Executive Director

Welcome to the National Domestic Preparedness Coalition's official Website. When our Coalition was founded our goal was to develop and provide homeland security solutions that would be conceived, developed and used by those on the front lines, emergency responders, who know best how to address their homeland security needs.

Our first mission was the development of the Homeland Security Comprehensive Assessment Model (HLS-CAM), a true grass roots bottom up effort. Developed by Emergency Responders for Emergency Responders, the HLS-CAM is now an accepted assessment methodology that is used by emergency responders, quite extensively throughout the country.

Our experience with the HLS-CAM proved that emergency responders working together can provide creative, effective and efficient solutions to the homeland security issues that are unique to our respective communities. With this in mind, the coalition created the Homeland Security Task Force (HSTF), a grassroots membership organization consisting of emergency responders who are responsible for the mission of Homeland Security. Our goal is to enhance communication and teamwork between all emergency responders and provide a voice for members to articulate their perspectives toward securing our nation.
