First to Arrive: State and Local Responses to Terrorism
Book
By Juliette Kayyem, Member of the Board, Belfer Center for Science and International Affairs and Robyn Pangi, Research Specialist
Since September 11, 2001, the United States has been preoccupied by the federal role in preparedness against terror attacks and by ways to provide a quick fix through organizational overhauls. First to Arrive argues that the best way for America to prepare for terrorism is to listen to people in the field; those working on the ground can guide decisions at the top.

Countering Terrorism: Dimensions of Preparedness
Book
By Arnold Howitt, Executive Director of the Taubman Center for State and Local Government, Faculty Affiliate and Robyn Pangi, Research Specialist
The United States now knows that it is vulnerable to terrorist attacks. In Countering Terrorism, experts from such disparate fields as medicine, law, public policy, and international security discuss institutional changes the country must make to protect against future attacks. In these essays, they argue that terrorism preparedness is not just a federal concern, but one that requires integrated efforts across federal, state, and local governments.
