Florida Regional Domestic Security Task Force

The City of Miramar Fire Rescue Department is a member of the Florida Regional Domestic Security Task Force. Representatives from the Division of Emergency Management attend quarterly meetings with Region 7 partner agencies.

On September 14, Governor Bush directed Craig Fugate (DEM) and Commissioner Tim Moore (FDLE) to complete a comprehensive assessment of Florida’s capabilities to prevent, mitigate, and respond to a terrorist attack. This process resulted in 26 recommendations in 4 primary areas: Emergency Services, Critical Infrastructure, Human Services, and Public Information and Awareness.
