ABSTRACT
This section will scan some of these training systems with a full recognition that it can only touch the surface of most . DHS not only delivers a wide array of educational programs but also seeds the entire country with grants and other support so that localities and nonfederal jurisdictions can educate their constituencies with a local flavor . Billions of dollars in grants flow to every state, with most major urban areas receiving additional funding-so
too with various special agencies at the federal level . As this chapter makes plain, while DHS leads the overall effort in homeland, other agencies of government have their fingers in the homeland pie . Witnessed in Chapter 11 is the oversight role of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) in matters of bioterrorism, chemical attacks, and other weapons of mass destruction (WMD) . Other agencies, such as Agriculture, the Nuclear Regulatory Commission, the FDA, and the military, play integral roles as well . Both funding and training spill out to the practitioners from these agencies in the same way as DHS does .
