Dear Members of the Southeast Regional Domestic Security Task Force (SERDSTF),
The event at Fort Lauderdale Airport on Friday, January 6. 2017, highlighted the ci
necessity for a cooperative regional and multi -discipline preparedness, response, and
recot,ery, The Southeast Regional Domestic Task Force (unctions as a structure for all or
our members to meet, train, exercise and equip ourselves, 11,Iost importantly, the system aL
functions as a way to Gross -pollinate ideas and forge personal trust. The cross -discipline
response to the vile attack on the Fort Lauderdale Airport demonstrated the continuing
need to work together, identify gaps in our capabilities, and offer our unique capabilities
and expertise to a common goal.
Going forward the SERDSTF will continue to pinpoint best practices and kill the gaps
that were identified during the events on January 6th. We will engage with all of the
disciplines to assure that critically needed missions and roles are identified and tilled in
both the initial response to a terrorist attack and the critical stages in the aftermath. We
will engage with our grant partners of the State Homeland Security (SHSP) Grant and the
Urban Area Security initiative (L ASI) to assure we remain a coordinated and successful
region.
�n
In 2017, the Department of Homeland Security offered a new opportunity known as the
Grant to Prepare Cominunities for Complex Coordinated Terrorist Attacks. The
SERDSTF and the South Florida UASE are submitting a mutual plan that will includeLIJ
partners from each of the re<gion's disciplines, along with our airports and seaports, to
demonstrate our coordinated efforts. The final plan will be reviewed and endorsed by the
Chair and Co -Chair of the SERDSTF.
We recognize, appreciate and applaud the efforts of every discipline that responded to the
Fort Lauderdale Airport. Please continue to support the SERDSTF by providing fresh
input and ideas,
a.
