This question deals with the interagency relationships between local, state, and federal agencies in the preparation and response to terrorist or emergency management incidents. Why do federal, state, and local agencies involved in Homeland Security not cooperate better in preparing the US for future terrorist attacks? Using a specific homeland problem that highlights inter-agency interaction/cooperation/conflict, discuss how the U.S. has attempted to solve the inter-agency problem(s). How successful do you think future inter-agency cooperation will be in addressing homeland security issues �and why? Discuss any policy and/or legislative changes that have been put in place to reduce inter-agency friction. What is left to be done?
