Report: States Prepared for Emergency Response, not Cybersecurity
A National Preparedness Report shows that U.S. states and territories are strongest in areas of response and core capabilities such as planning, public warning and coordination, but weaker in recovery, protection and, especially, cybersecurity, according to Fierce Homeland Security.
The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) report was released in early May, but is dated from March 2012. It rates states' and territories' preparedness for 31 core capabilities (mission areas) as described in the National Preparedness Goal that FEMA released in September 2011.
