Urban Areas Security Initiative (UASI)

The Urban Areas Security Initiative (UASI) is a program created by the U.S. government to strengthen the ability of major cities to prevent and respond to terrorist threats and other emergencies. It provides funding, resources, and training to enhance local emergency preparedness, improve communication systems, and develop coordinated response plans. The goal is to help high-risk urban areas be better equipped to protect residents, infrastructure, and critical assets, ensuring a swift and effective response to crises.
