In the sentence below, I can not understand what this "depth" actually means. ("this incident" means 9/11 here.)
As a result, this incident reinforced the need for training and depth in Agency Representatives and SECC staff.

If you take this literally (depth in representatives and staff), it would probably mean "depth" in the sense that a sports team is deep - in other words, the human resources are 充実している.
