Strategic Plan

Overview

Connecticut General Statutes, SB 970, 2023, "An Act Concerning a Domestic Terrorism Prevention Plan Annex in Local Emergency Operations Plans" was enacted by the Connecticut Legislation for the purpose of requiring municipalities in Connecticut to include a domestic terrorism prevention plan annex in their local emergency operations plans. The annex must outline strategies for:

• Preventing, responding to, and recovering from acts of domestic terrorism

• Coordinating with state and federal agencies.

• Training local officials and first responders.

• Public communication and outreach during incidents.

 

The Division of Emergency Management and Homeland Security (DEMHS) within the Department of Emergency Services and Public Protection (DESPP) is tasked with providing guidance and technical assistance to municipalities and reviewing and approving the annexes as part of the overall emergency operations plans.
