Who says DoHS can't think creatively?

Regions at the highest risk of terrorist attack or natural disaster will receive an increased share of grant money under a new urban funding formula unveiled yesterday by the Department of Homeland Security, the latest step in its effort to focus more resources on the gravest threats facing the United States.

The policy change, announced by Secretary Michael Chertoff, comes after several years of criticism from lawmakers and private research groups.

But Chertoff also characterized the changes as part of a broader effort to distribute money based on measurable risk factors, and he said that such grants are "not party favors to be distributed as widely as possible."
