Communities Depend Daily on Reliable Systems These systems are the “invisible” critical infrastructure that our communities depend on every day, for example: Telephone systems that allow us to use ATMs/credit cards for our financial transactions, and real-time communications for business and personal use (cellular phones, pagers, e-mail, land-lines, and faxes) Electricity that allows us to light and heat our homes and businesses, and power computers and vital communication devices like radio and television Water systems that provide us with water for drinking, sanitary needs, irrigation, and firefighting capabilities

The Threat We will “hit hard the American economy at its heart and its core.” - Osama bin Laden Without doubt, terrorist groups recognize the economic ramifications of attacks on the Nation’s critical infrastructure and key resources.

Dependency on our Critical Infrastructure & Key Resources National Security Economic Vitality Our Way of Life Attacks Could Disrupt government and private industry operations and impact our economy and society Result in large-scale human casualties, property destruction, and damage to national prestige and public confidence

The Role of the Department of Homeland Security Unify a national effort to secure America Prevent and deter terrorist attacks Protect against and respond to threats and hazards to the Nation Respond to and recover from acts of terrorism, natural disasters, or other emergencies Coordinate the protection of our Nation’s critical infrastructure and key resources (CI/KR) across all sectors

The Challenge to Protect Critical Infrastructure & Key Resources 85% of all CI/KR assets are privately-owned The Department of Homeland Security must work with industry and Federal entities, as well as state, territorial, local, and tribal governments to protect CI/KR To help communities better protect the Nation’s assets, the Department of Homeland Security is placing Protective Security Advisors (PSAs) in metropolitan areas throughout the country
