Crisis Management Measures to identify, acquire, and plan the
use of resources needed to anticipate, prevent, and/or resolve a threat or act of terrorism. The laws of the United States assign primary authority to the Federal Government to prevent and respond to acts of terrorism. State and local governments provide assistance as required. Crisis management is predominantly a law enforcement response. (PDD-39)

Consequence Management Measures taken to protect public health
and safety, restore essential government services, and provide emergency relief to governments, businesses, and individuals affected by the consequences of a chemical, biological, nuclear, and/or high-yield explosive situation. For domestic consequence management, the primary authority rests with the States to respond and the Federal Government to provide assistance as required. (PDD-39)

Mission Statement The Florida PRND program mission
statement: The mission of the Florida Preventive
Radiological Nuclear Detection Program is to protect the people, economy, and natural resources of Florida against threats posed by the unauthorized use of radiological and nuclear materials.

What Are We Looking For? An IND is a device capable of
producing nuclear yield, employed for terrorist or criminal purposes. It may be a modified stockpile warhead, a state-designed nuclear explosive, or a device fabricated by a terrorist/criminal organization.
An RDD is a device intended to disperse radioactivity for malevolent reasons. It is not capable of producing nuclear yield.
A RED is radioactive material as a sealed source or in a container, that exposes people to radiation

Threat Materials – Florida Based
Florida has over 1,700 radioactive material licensees, almost all with multiple sources.
There are approximately 2,000 mobile gauges with radioactive material on the roadways.
17 licensees have category 1 sources (very large sources immediately dangerous to life and health including blood irradiators, industrial irradiators and research irradiators.)
There are two large irradiators with more than 2 million curies of radioactive material.

Why We Were Formed?
The DHS Law Enforcement Terrorism Prevention Program (LETPP) Funding Committee identified numerous gaps in the area of Preventive Radiological/Nuclear Detection
In the Fall of 2007, the FL Domestic Security Oversight Committee voted to establish a Preventive Radiological/Nuclear Detection Sub-Committee under Operations and Plans within the State Working Group
