"Homeland security in the 21st Century may have begun with national leaders, but it will continue and succeed only with the added efforts of governors, mayors, county executives, tribal leaders, airline personnel, border patrol agents, the intelligence community, law enforcement, firefighters, diplomatic officers, business leaders, international partners - citizens and freedom-loving people everywhere."
- Homeland Security Secretary Tom Ridge, March 31, 2004
Equity International's 2004 Homeland & Global Security Summit
The Homeland Security Presidential Directive (HSPD) 8 on National Preparedness outlines actions to strengthen and measure homeland security capabilities.
