CCROA
National Blueprint for Secure Communities
 The Blueprint is a dynamic, ever-changing resource, written and compiled by CIPRR and Kennedy School of Government/ Leadership for a Networked World (KSG/LNW), with community sector leaders, responders and experts, that identifies 1) the challenges facing communities during the first 72 hours of crisis; 2) recommendations, ideas and best practices that might address the challenges; and 3) tools that the private and community sectors can provide to the public sector that augment and increase response and recovery capability.
For instance, in meetings with communities such as Galveston and Charleston, a number of best practices were identified and entered into the National Blueprint describing cross-sector collaborations that can be examples for other communities which are exploring ways to forge new partnerships.
