Strategies for Securing Cyberspace and Protection of Infrastructure Released [February 14, 2003]
From the Document: "The National Strategy to Secure Cyberspace and the National Strategy for the Physical Protection of Critical Infrastructures and Key Assets will help us protect America from those who would do us harm, whether through physical destruction or by attacking our infrastructures through cyberspace. These strategies recognize that the majority of our critical assets and infrastructures, such as those in the banking, telecommunications, energy, and transportation sectors, are privately owned and operated. The strategies outline Federal efforts and State and local roles in securing the Nation's critical infrastructures, and identify opportunities for partnership with the private sector. The Department of Homeland Security will take the lead in accomplishing many of the objectives of these strategies. Other departments and agencies also have important roles to play. I encourage everyone, government at all levels, industry, and private citizens to continue to work together to make our nation secure."

From the opening statement of Dina Titus: "This is a very important hearing, because we are going to be discussing what should be the priorities of FEMA, moving into 2022. [...] In addition to the pandemic, we know that climate change and severe weather events, which have combined with high-risk areas having more intense development to really make emergencies more serious, have changed the emergency management landscape as a result. And Government and insurance data show that these disasters are more expensive and have a greater impact than ever before. And that is what we need to talk about, as we look at FEMA's plans for the next year. We need to see how FEMA can adapt to this new reality in dealing with certain kinds of disasters, and with those that are unexpected, and how they can keep our communities and the survivors as a priority as they move forward." Statements, letters, and materials submitted for the record include those of the following: Chris P. Currie, Erica Bornemann, and Carolyn J. Harshman.

From the Document: "The purpose of H.R. 7361 is to require the National Weather Service to improve its current legacy instant messaging communications system (referred to as 'NWSChat') by upgrading to a cloud-based commercial communications system. [...] The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA)'s National Weather Service (NWS) provides weather, water, and climate data, forecasts, warnings, and impact-based decision support services for the protection of life and property, and enhancement of the national economy. To communicate its services with the media and emergency responders, NWS personnel use NWSChat, an instant messaging program utilized to share critical warning decision expertise and weather information. The current legacy communication system has experienced dissemination issues, and the NWS has initiatied [sic] a demonstration effort to migrate NWSChat to a new operational environment. The National Weather Service Communications Improvement Act would support NWS's ongoing efforts to improve the reliability of their instant messaging service by requiring the implementation of a commercial off-the shelf solution."
