Homeland Security Secretary Tom Ridge Thursday unveiled a new system for coordinating the national response to terrorist attacks and other disasters.
After a one-year preliminary implementation period, the National Response Plan will definitively replace a host of existing federal emergency plans, assigning responsibility to specific agencies for different types of incidents - the Homeland Security Department's Emergency Preparedness and Response Directorate in the case of attacks involving weapons of mass destruction, for example.
