In the post 9-11 era, state and local first responder agencies face a growing number of challenges. Law enforcement, fire and EMS agencies are asked to shoulder the burden of keeping our homeland secure and our cities safe.

Though the federal government stands ready to assist state and local agencies, there is a tremendous amount of confusion on how to access federal grant money. Millions of dollars in federal assistance are available, but the competition for these funds is fierce. Beginning in FY 2005, federal government assistance for preparedness will be conditioned on compliance with The National Incident Management System (NIMS). In this ever-changing grants landscape, successful first responder agencies must learn the secrets of the grant application process.
