The DowntownDC BID’s latest leadership paper, Creating the Strategy: From Public Safety to Homeland Security, is now available online. With the report, the BID officially launched its DowntownDC BID Security Initiative (DBSI). The DBSI has two goals: enhance situational awareness through CCTV surveillance and increase emergency preparedness planning throughout the 138-block BID area. Both are now necessary in a post 9/11 and natural disaster prone world to provide for the safety of people in downtown as well as protect city and federal investments. The BID encourages all property owners, managers, and businesses to get a copy of the report to learn more about how the DBSI, which is designed to help them respond efficiently and effectively to natural and man-made security incidents.
