Book excerpt: In response to the terrorist attacks of September 11th, 2001 President Bush created the Department of Homeland Security and issued Homeland Security Presidential Directive 5 (HSPD-5). HSPD-5 is mandatory and communities must comply in order to remain eligible for federal funding in the future. The problem was that the City of Park Ridge was not in compliance with HSPD-5, and would therefore not be eligible to receive federal funding. The purpose of this research was to examine a HSPD-5 compliance implementation plan. A descriptive research methodology was utilized by answering the following research questions: 1. What are the benefits of adopting and implementing HSPD-5? 2. What are other communities in the State of Illinois doing to become compliant with HSPD-5? 3. What are the steps that the City of Park Ridge must take to become compliant with HSPD-5? The procedures used in this research were a comprehensive review of current literature and surveying communities in the State of Illinois to ascertain their plans for compliance. The results of this research included: -The benefits of adopting and implementing HSPD-5.-The specific implementation plans of other communities in the State of Illinois.-An implementation plan for the City of Park Ridge. This research culminated with the recommendation of an implementation plan for the City of Park Ridge to comply with HSPD-5. [STAR#: 145570].
