New Jersey Business Force

The New Jersey Business Force, a first-of-its-kind partnership between the state of New Jersey and leading companies in New Jersey, is an innovative solution to America's continuing vulnerability to attacks on the homeland, including those involving biological or chemical weapons. Minimizing the economic, political and social consequences of another attack on U.S. soil requires government and business to work together in new and creative ways. Neither can do it alone.

When Governor James E. McGreevey announced the partnership in November 2002, he said the Business Force would work closely with the New Jersey state government, including the Department of Law and Public Safety, Health and Senior Services, and other relevant state agencies.

The New Jersey Business Force will focus on high priority areas where the unique expertise of the private sector can complement ongoing state efforts and provide genuine contributions in preparing for and responding to catastrophic events or terrorists attacks. In 2004, we continued our efforts to better prepare New Jersey in a host of areas.
