What is SOSINK?

SOSINK stands for "Southwestern Ohio, Southeastern Indiana and Northern Kentucky." The twelve counties of our Tri-State Region form an Urban Areas Security Initiative region (UASI), which provides financial assistance to address the unique planning, equipment, training, and exercise needs of high-threat, high-density urban areas. This regional initiative also assists us in building an enhanced and sustainable capacity to prevent, respond to, and recover from threats or acts of terrorism. Our USAI region includes the city of Cincinnati and the counties of Hamilton, Butler, Warren, Clermont, Clinton, Brown, Highland and Adams in Ohio; Boone, Kenton and Campbell in Kentucky and Dearborn in Indiana. The UASI program provides the Tri-State Region the opportunity to enhance regional preparedness efforts throughout the Tri-State Region.
