Funded by the Urban Area Security Initiative (UASI) Program; Boston, Cambridge, and seven surrounding cities and towns work cooperatively on preparedness issues on a regional basis. Pro is a member of the EMS committee. The UASI Program was designed to provide financial assistance to address the unique planning, equipment, training, and exercise needs of large urban areas, and to assist them in building an enhanced and sustainable capacity to prevent, prepare for, respond to, and recover from acts of terrorism. The program also provides funding to mass transit systems for the protection of critical infrastructure and emergency preparedness activities.
