The Governor's Office of Homeland Security formed within the Executive Department in July 2003 (Executive Order 01.01.2003.18). The Office coordinates and directs State homeland security efforts; advises the Governor on such issues; and continually assesses Maryland's readiness and ability to prepare for, prevent, and respond to disasters and emergencies, including terrorist attacks. To avoid duplication of effort and resources, the Office coordinates efforts to obtain and allocate federal funds for State and local homeland security. The Office further serves as State liaison to the White House Office of Homeland Security and the U.S. Department of Homeland Security.
Also, the Office works with the Anti-Terrorism Advisory Council of Maryland, directed by the U.S. Attorney's Office of the District of Maryland, and the Maryland Coordination and Analysis Center, a collaborative effort of federal, State and local agencies.
MARYLAND COORDINATION & ANALYSIS CENTER (MCAC)
In November 2003, the Maryland Coordination and Analysis Center began its work of coordinating the efforts of federal, State and local agencies to gather, analyze, and share intelligence information with law enforcement, public health, and emergency responder personnel. The Center's functions are directed by the Anti-Terrorism Advisory Council of Maryland.
