The terrorist attack of September 11, 2001, and the natural
disasters of Hurricanes Katrina and Rita demonstrated the
challenges that governments face in initial response and recovery
efforts. This book details the important steps that governors and
mayors have initiated to address the serious problems illustrated
by these recent disasters. The innovative solutions include
developing more reliable communications, creating public-private
partnerships to supplement public emergency services, establishing
fusion c- ters that interpret information, and creating joint
operations centers to manage the response to the event. There are
important lessons to be learned from the managerial and
technological innovations that the governors and mayors describe in
this book. As the Mayor of Philadelphia and now as the Governor of
Pennsylvania, I have contributed to three books on best practices
of state and local governments. I am pleased to participate in the
efforts of the Center for Competitive Government of the Fox School
at Temple University to address the important issues faced by
governments. This book makes an important contribution to the
public discussion on the public and private sectors' role in
homeland security. Commonwealth of Pennsylvania Governor Edward G.
Rendell vii Acknowledgement The editors would like to acknowledge
Dr. M. Moshe Porat, Dean of the Fox School at Temple where the
Center for Competitive Government is located. His strong c-
tribution and support for the Mayors' Summits is most appreciated.
Many chapters for our books including this one emanated from these
Summits.
