About the National Domestic Preparedness Coalition
The NDPCI was conceived by the Orange County Sheriff's Office, Orange County, Florida, the West Virginia University School of Medicine and the West Virginia National Guard and has emerged as a stand alone 501(c) 3, non-profit organization. The National Domestic Preparedness Coalition provides solutions that help protect our Nation's communities from all hazards including terrorism and natural disaster by providing the highest quality training, and programs, developed through partnerships and participation by those on the front lines, emergency responders, private industry, and our citizens, who know best how to address their homeland security needs.
The NDPCI developed the Homeland Security Comprehensive Assessment Model, a comprehensive assessment that defines a community, evaluates a community's strengths and weaknesses, identifies critical infrastructure and key resources, identifies the threats to the community, prioritizes CI/KR and provides a comprehensive vulnerability assessment. The NDPCI provides training for Emergency Responders and Private Industry representatives in the HLS-CAM methodology.
