The Preparedness Directorate Office of G&T administers comprehensive programs of direct and grant support for training, exercises, equipment acquisition, technology transfer, and technical assistance to enhance the nation’s preparedness for CBRNE acts of terrorism. The Preparedness Directorate Office of G&T SSD works closely with other ODP divisions and Homeland Security professionals gaining an intimate understanding of the emergency responder technology needs and shortfalls.
