The six counties of Southeast Michigan (Oakland, Macomb, Monroe,
St. Clair, Washtenaw, and Wayne) and the City of Detroit have also formed a
regional homeland security board (known as an Urban Area Security Initiative
or UASI). This board coordinates grant funding for preparedness and
response enhancement projects that are approved by the Department of
Homeland Security. Here
is a link to the UASI website.
