FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE CONTACT: GOVERNOR’S PRESS OFFICE June 15, 2016 (850) 717-9282 [email protected] Gov. Scott: State Agencies Continue to Provide Assistance to Orlando Community ORLANDO, Fla. – Today, Governor Rick Scott highlighted state agencies that are working to ensure the state is responding to any needs. Along with assisting the FBI with the ongoing investigation, FDLE currently has set aside more than $521,345 in residual Justice Assistance Grant funds for the City of Orlando and Orange County to be used for overtime and equipment associated with the terror attack. FDLE also requested $2 million in emergency Justice Assistance Grant funds from the Department of Justice (DOJ) on June 14th. The Florida Department of Children and Families is offering $500,000 in funding which may be used to address the increased needs of individuals and families in Orlando. Needs include crisis counseling services such as grief counseling, trauma support, emotional support that will be provided using these funds. Governor Scott said, “As a state, we will continue to do all we can to help Orlando heal. All of our state agencies are committed to doing everything in their power to provide assistance to those impacted by this horrific tragedy. FDLE has been working with their local partners around the clock, but additional funding from the DOJ is needed to help support the ongoing investigation. DCF is also constantly working to coordinate with counselors on the frontline to offer essential services to victims’ families and provide a supportive place for individuals to grieve loved ones. I appreciate the dedication of our state agencies and local organizations as we continue to work together to support the Orlando community.” FDLE Commissioner Richard Swearingen said, “FDLE agents continue to work with our law enforcement partners painstakingly investigating the Pulse nightclub shooting. FDLE members have also identified more than $520,000 in Justice Assistance Grants and we are requesting another $2 million from the Department of Justice to help with overtime and equipment costs associated with the shooting." DCF Secretary Mike Carroll said, "As we rally to support and console survivors, victims' families, and residents impacted by the shootings, we not only can offer resources to help them find the strength and resilience to overcome, we can, as an organization and as individuals, show how this event can serve to renew our faith in humanity. We will remain steadfast in working with our partners to provide grief and crisis counseling to all those in need." Florida Department of Law Enforcement While the FBI is leading the investigation, FDLE continues to assist in investigating links to terrorism, and work with the Florida Fusion Center to share resources, expertise and information to better identify, detect, prevent, apprehend and respond to criminal and terrorist activity utilizing an all crimes/all hazards approach.

From: Trina Sheets [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Wednesday, June 15, 2016 11:50 AM To: Trina Sheets Subject: New National Terrorism Advisory System (NTAS) Bulletin Important information from DHS that NEMA is passing along so you can prepare any comments should the media or others contact you for your state’s perspective. Officially embargoed until 2 pm today for public release. From: DHS.IGA [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Wednesday, June 15, 2016 11:44 AM To: DHS.IGA <[email protected]> Subject: New National Terrorism Advisory System (NTAS) Bulletin Dear Homeland Security Partner: In December 2015, Secretary Johnson announced the revision of the Department of Homeland Security’s National Terrorism Advisory System, or “NTAS,” to include an intermediate level NTAS “Bulletin.” We then issued a new NTAS Bulletin at the same time. The duration of the December Bulletin was six months, and expires tomorrow. The Department of Homeland Security is today issuing a new NTAS Bulletin which reflects the tragic events of Orlando several days ago. An embargoed version of the Bulletin is being provided to you in advance so that you have time to prepare your community response. As the Bulletin will be publically released at 2:00 PM Eastern, please refrain from further distribution of this document. We will follow up with the FINAL NTAS Bulletin for further dissemination upon its public release at 2:00 PM Eastern. Here is what is stated in the new Bulletin’s summary: “In December, we described a new phase in the global threat environment, which has implications on the homeland. This basic assessment has not changed. In this environment, we are particularly concerned about homegrown violent extremists who could strike with little or no notice. The tragic events of Orlando several days ago reinforce this. Accordingly, increased public vigilance and awareness continue to be of utmost importance.” This NTAS Bulletin goes on to describe the government’s counterterrorism efforts, and how the public can help and be prepared in the current environment.
