SB 236: "An Act making supplemental and other appropriations for homeland security; and providing for an effective date."
00 SENATE BILL NO. 236 01 "An Act making supplemental and other appropriations for homeland security; and 02 providing for an effective date." 03 BE IT ENACTED BY THE LEGISLATURE OF THE STATE OF ALASKA: 04 * Section 1. FINDINGS. (a) The tragic events of September 11, 2001 require immediate 05 attention to preparedness against terrorism and weapons of mass destruction at all levels of 06 government. The appropriations made in this Act are based on the recommendations of the 07 Disaster Policy Cabinet and the sub-cabinet groups on Domestic Preparedness/Consequence 08 Management, Energy and General Security, Information Technology and 09 Telecommunications Security, and Transportation Security. 10 (b) No community, state, or nation will ever have the wealth to meet all 11 responsibilities of government while building a stand-alone system that focuses solely on 12 protection from terrorism. It is important, therefore, to focus on strengthening existing 13 programs while improving capabilities for responding to all emergencies. Since full
01 capabilities and a complete level of preparedness will never be possible in every locale, it is 02 critical to have the ability to move resources quickly around the state. 03 (c) The state's anti-terrorism preparedness and response should be consistent with the 04 following guidelines: 05 (1) strengthening existing programs, especially those that protect and save 06 lives; 07 (2) improving capabilities for responding to all emergencies; 08 (3) identifying and protecting assets of national and statewide importance; 09 (4) maintaining continuity of government operations at all levels; 10 (5) reinforcing first responder capabilities; 11 (6) using deployable resources to augment response in areas with inadequate 12 response capabilities; 13 (7) maintaining an appropriate balance between security needs and individual 14 freedom; 15 (8) maintaining the ability to communicate at all times; 16 (9) maximizing the use of existing or anticipated federal programs and grants; 17 and 18 (10) sharing costs at all levels, both public and private. 19 * Sec. 2.
