G&T Mission
The mission of G&T is to prepare America for acts of domestic
terrorism by developing and implementing a national program to
enhance the
capacity of state and local agencies to respond to incidents of
terrorism, particularly those involving chemical, biological, radiological,
nuclear and explosive (CBRNE) incidents, through coordinated training,
equipment acquisition, technical assistance, and support for Federal,
state, and
local exercises.
G&T fulfills this mission through a series of program efforts responsive
to the specific requirements of state and local agencies. G&T works
directly with emergency responders and conducts assessments of
state and local needs and capabilities to guide the development and execution
of these
programs. Assistance
provided by G&T is directed at a broad spectrum of state and local
emergency responders, including firefighters, emergency medical
services, emergency management agencies, law enforcement, and public officials.
