Dear Members of the Southeast Regional Doalestic Security Task Force (SERDSTF),
The event ,At Fort Lauclordale Airport on Friday, January 6. 2017' hit plighted the
necessity for a cooperative re4,gional and multi -discipline preparedness, response, and
rocoGery. The: SULltheaSt Regional Domestic Task Force functions as a structure for all of
our nlenlbers to meet, train, exercise and equip ourselves, Nfost importantly, the system
functions as a way to Cross-pollinate ideas and forge personal trust. The cross -discipline
response to the vilo attack on the Fort I.atiderdale Airport demonstrated the Contininn,
need to work to�wcther, identify gaps in OUr capabilities, and offer our uniCIue capabilities
and expertise to a common goal.
(:Ie>in- for�-� and the: SERDSTF will continue: to pinpoint best practices and till the gaps
that Fere identified durim, the events on January 6th. We will en rage with all oC the
disciplines to assure that critically needed missions and roles arc identified and filled in
both the initial response to a terrorist attack and the critical stages in the aftermath, We
,A -ill eri,,age with our grant partners of"the State Homeland Security (SHSP) Grant and die
Urban Area Security bl.itiative (UASI) to assure we remain a coordinated and successful
region.
In 2017, the Department of lot-nel,111d SeCUrtty' offel'ed a 11OW opportUtlity lulown as the

SERDSTF and the; South Florida UASI are submitting a mutual plan that will inclucde
partners Front each of the region's disciplines, alone with our airports and seaports, to
dwnlonstrate our coordinated erforts. The final plan will be reviewed and endorsed by the
