Supplemental Information

Overview of Activities, Organization & Update on NFPA 1600, 2004 Edition


2



Recognized by the American National Standards Institute (ANSI) as The National Preparedness Standard for the Private Sector Recommended, by ANSI, to the 9/11 Commission as the Voluntary Standard to be Used by the Private Sector for Emergency Preparedness

Recommended to the 9-11 Commission by DHS Secretary Tom Ridge in his Testimony of May 19, 2004


3



Recommended by the 9-11 Commission in their final report to the President and the Congress

From the text of the Commission’s report (page 398): Recommendation: We endorse the American National Standards Institute’s recommended standard for private preparedness … We believe that compliance with the standard should define the standard of care owed by a company to its employees and the public for legal purposes. Private-sector preparedness is not a luxury; it is a cost of doing business in the post-9/11 world. It is ignored at a tremendous potential cost in lives, money, and national security

Intelligence Reform and Terrorism Prevention Act of 2004 – Section 7305
