State of Georgia
Local Emergency Resources Law Enforcement Survey
2006
Introduction
The Georgia Office of Homeland Security (GOHS) is in the process of building an emergency information system for the State of Georgia. This emergency information system currently includes local and state emergency operations plans, emergency contact information, and standard operating procedures. In an effort to further prepare the State of Georgia for all hazards, but especially the threat of terrorist attack, the current status of emergency resources available in Georgia is being added to the information system. This survey is an attempt to collect information from localities for inclusion into the statewide emergency information system. The current survey design focuses on law enforcement, hazardous materials, fire, emergency management, and emergency medical services equipment and teams.
The data collected in this survey process will have many uses. First, this data will provide a “snapshot” of the emergency resources currently available at the local level within our State. Second, this data will be used to assist in the identification of needs for future planning efforts. Third, the data will be used to assist in planning for possible major events in your region and/or the State. This data should be extremely helpful in determining our current state of preparedness, our future needs, and will help standardize the terminology used throughout our State in accordance with the National Incident Management System (NIMS).
It is very important that all of the data contained in this survey remain confidential and secure. Paper copies of the surveys will be shredded once the data is successfully entered into the web-based data storage and retrieval system. This data will be accessible by you through a secure, password-protected website so that updates can be made by your agency in the future.
Finally, please note that the completion of the survey is not a commitment of the resources you possess within your agency or department. However, the information collected will be vital in determining gaps in required resources for large responses in the State of Georgia and will be used in future requests for funding to obtain equipment, training, and manpower.
Your agency plays an important role in the overall response capability of our community, and it is vital that we receive your input on this important project. If you have questions or require additional information regarding this survey and/or project, please contact Tony McClung, of the Georgia Association of Chiefs of Police at 770-495-9650 or via email at homeland.security@gachiefs.com
Data Collector Instructions: Be sure to complete your name, agency, date and contact information at the top of each page of this survey (in case pages get separated). This will assist data entry personnel in contacting the proper data collector in case of questions.

Be sure to indicate the number of personnel in the appropriate category (career, part-time or volunteer). Be sure to include both the number of authorized positions and those with certified personnel in place (thereby accounting for currently unfilled positions). The “National Guard or Military Reservist” column should be used for listing the total number (career, part-time and volunteer) of personnel who could possibly see military activations.
