GSN 2015 DIGITAL YEARBOOK OF HOMELAND SECURITY AWARDS RECIPIENTS Most Notable State Government Program, Project or Initiative New York State Division Of Homeland Security and Emergency Services (DHSES) 2015 Winner Awards Category: –––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––– Most Notable State Government Security Program/ Project or Initiative Name of Nominated Product, Service, or Program: –––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––– County Emergency Preparedness Assessment (CEPA) Initiative Reason this entry deserves to win: –––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––– The County Emergency Preparedness Assessment (CEPA) is a statewide initiative to better understand how the State and local governments are prepared to deal with various threats and hazards facing New York. As the number one target of terrorism in the Country, and a State with numerous natural disasters (4th most in the nation), CEPA is a critical component of our overall homeland security strategy. The CEPA process was developed in collaboration with State and local subject matter experts and involves facilitated workshops with each of New York’s 58 counties (including NYC) to capture risk, capability and resource information using an intuitive, standardized and repeatable process. Through the CEPA process, DHSES is able to better understand local capabilities and resource gaps across the entire homeland security spectrum (e.g., counter-terrorism, critical infrastructure, communications, cyber-security, emergency management, public health, etc.), and CEPA has identified a series of common gaps and trends than can now be better addressed. This information from CEPA is helping both the State and our local partners make more informed resource decisions and increasing our efficiency and effectiveness by focusing our collective efforts to where they are most needed. CEPA has also helped us identify and promote best practices across the State, and the highly collaborative nature of the process has served to strengthen relationships with our partners. To date, more than 1,300 public 112
and private sector stakeholders have participated in the CEPA process, and New York’s innovative approach to the CEPA initiative recently led to a Public Service Excellence Award from the State Academy for Public Administration. The CEPA process has helped New York address the longstanding problem of how measure and quantify preparedness. We now have a baseline preparedness assessment and the ability to monitor and track our progress over time. The federal government, academics, think-tank and others have long struggled with how to assess preparedness, but rather than wait for someone else to develop a solution to this challenge, New York took decisive action and created a solution that could serve as national model, and we are actively sharing information about CEPA with others so that they may learn from our experiences. The growing threat of extreme weather coupled with the complex terrorism threat environment warrants new and innovative approaches to increase preparedness, and the CEPA initiative is an embodiment of that ideology. As such, we would greatly appreciate consideration for the 2015 GSN Homeland Security Award.
