Summary

Community Counterterrorism Preparedness Act This bill amends the Homeland Security Act of 2002 to require the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) to carry out a grant program for emergency response providers to prevent, prepare for, and respond to the most likely terrorist attack scenarios, including active shooters against major metropolitan areas. Emergency response providers and jurisdictions that are currently receiving, or that previously received, funding under the Urban Area Security Initiative may apply for such a grant. Recipients may use grants to conduct training and exercises consistent with preventing, preparing for, and responding to such scenarios. DHS shall make funds provided under this bill available for use by a grant recipient for a period of at least 24 months.
