On September 24, 2009, DomPrep hosted an Executive Briefing for the All Hazards Consortium (AHC), a 501c3 non-profit guided by eight regional states - Delaware, Maryland, New Jersey, New York, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, Virginia, and West Virginia - and the District of Columbia. This by-invitation-only meeting was held from 8:00am to 11:00am (EST) in the First Amendment Lounge on the 13th floor of the National Press Club (529 14th Street, NW, Washington, D.C. 20045).
The purpose of this important meeting was to brief new administration appointees, the DHS (Department of Homeland Security) leadership, congressional aides, and other federal decision-making officials - representing the Departments of Defense, Energy, Health, Justice, and Transportation - on the region’s multi-state efforts, accomplishments, and future as well as current needs in the broad areas of homeland security and emergency management. Short presentations were made by the member states, several of the federal partners involved, and private-sector representatives on the numerous ways in which they have collaborated over the past four years on regional efforts. Of particular importance was a discussion on how they are forming a new model for regional collaboration at the state level.
