Partnerships Key to Emergency Preparedness

November 4, 2005 – Secretary Chertoff discussed the importance of collaboration with partners throughout the first responder community and that Homeland Security is working “to provide firefighters with the resources and funding you need. Through the Assistance to Firefighters Grant program, just this year alone we will award more than $580 million to fire departments all across the country for operations and safety equipment.
