According to one Department of Homeland Security document, the first line of defense in a terror attack is the first responder - the local fire, police, and emergency medical personnel. There are very clear benefits to building first responder capability since it makes the nation safer from terrorist attacks and at the same time increases everyday response capabilities. We can conclude that it is critical for our first responders have the necessary equipment to provide for their safety and provide adequate responses to chemical and biological threats.
