Strategic Plan for Developing a Suite of Standards for First Responders
"The InterAgency Board (IAB) for Equipment Standardization and Interoperability is designed to establish and coordinate local, state, and federal standardization, interoperability, compatibility, and responder health and safety to prepare for, train and respond to, mitigate, and recover from any incident by identifying requirements for an all-hazards incident response with a special emphasis on Chemical, Biological, Radiological, Nuclear or Explosive (CBRNE) issues. An integrated suite of standards is necessary to ensure compliance with minimum requirements for performance, commonality and interoperability of equipment utilized by local, state, and federal First Responders in the public safety and health communities. Such standards, as well as the specifications and test protocols that support them, are needed to guide the efforts of the manufactures and equipment developers; and to serve as a guide for informed procurement decisions by the appropriate agencies. These standards are to support the needs of response organizations to include law enforcement, fire fighters, HAZMAT, emergency medical and other related agencies that consist of the first elements to respond to incidents or attacks, and also pertain to organizations that are involved in the mitigation and recovery phases of such attacks. This document describes the strategy and process to develop such an integrated standards suite."

Migration and Border Security: The Military's Role
"In the United States, law enforcement and diplomatic instruments lead the migration and border security effort. The DHS's U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) is the principal federal law enforcement agency charged with enforcing agriculture, trade, drug and immigration regulations. They operate in all three border environments -- land, sea, and air -- within North America and internationally with cooperating governments. This effort is complemented by the U.S. Department of State's (DoS) 'Border Security Program.' Through proactive efforts in its embassies and consulates, DoS has improved information sharing, connectivity, and training to identify and prevent foreigners bent on doing harm from acquiring travel documents allowing them legal entry to the United States.5 The military's mission to defend U.S. borders from aggressors is principally accomplished through terrorist deterrence, detection, and interdiction before they reach the United States. However, events since 9/11 have led to the deployment of military forces to temporarily supplement and complement the CBP. Such was the case immediately following 9/11, when 1600 National Guard troops were federalized for duty on our northern and southern borders. Again, in 2004 following the intelligence community's assessment of a heightened threat along the northern border between Vermont, New Hampshire and New York, active duty and reserve component forces were deployed along those borders in the execution of Operation Winter Freeze. That augmentation took place between the federal election day and the presidential inauguration."

Strategic Partnership Program Agroterrorism (SPPA) Initiative: Final Summary Report September 2005 - September 2008
"To assist in protecting the nation's food supply, the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), Department of Homeland Security (DHS), U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA), and the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) developed a joint assessment program, the Strategic Partnership Program Agroterrorism (SPPA) Initiative. The purpose of this initiative was to conduct a series of assessments of the food and agricultural sector in collaboration with private industry and State volunteers. These assessments supported the requirements for a coordinated food and agriculture infrastructure protection program as stated in the National Infrastructure Protection Plan (NIPP), Sector Specific Plans (SSP), National Preparedness Guidelines (released in 2007), and Homeland Security Presidential Directive 9 (HSPD-9), Defense of US Agriculture and Food. SPPA assessments were conducted on a voluntary basis between one or more industry representatives for a particular product or commodity, their trade association(s), and Federal and State Government agricultural, public health and law enforcement officials. Together, they conducted a vulnerability assessment of that industry's production process using the CARVER + Shock tool. The acronym 'CARVER' stands for the factors assessed: Criticality, Accessibility, Recuperability, Vulnerability, Effect, Recognizability, and Shock. As a result of each assessment, participants identified individual nodes, or process points that are of highest concern, protective measures and mitigation steps that may reduce the vulnerability of these nodes, and research gaps/needs. Discussions of mitigation steps and good security practices were general in nature, focusing on physical security improvements for food processing facilities and biosecurity practices and disease surveillance for livestock and plants."

Evolution of the Federal Radiological Monitoring and Assessment Center
"The Federal Radiological Monitoring and Assessment Center (FRMAC) is a federal emergency response asset whose assistance may be requested by the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), the Department of Defense (DoD), the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC), and state and local agencies to respond to a nuclear or radiological incident. It is an interagency organization with representation from the Department of Energy's National Nuclear Security Administration (DOE/NNSA), the Department of Defense (DoD), the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), and other federal agencies. FRMAC, in its present form, was created in 1987 when the radiological support mission was assigned to the DOE's Nevada Operations Office by DOE Headquarters. The FRMAC asset, including its predecessor entities, was created, grew, and evolved to function as a response to radiological incidents. Radiological emergency response exercises showed the need for a coordinated approach to managing federal emergency monitoring and assessment activities. The mission of FRMAC is to coordinate and manage all federal radiological environmental monitoring and assessment activities during a nuclear or radiological incident within the United States in support of state, local, tribal governments, DHS, and the federal coordinating agency."

Information Sharing: Additional Actions Could Help Ensure That Efforts to Share Terrorism-Related Suspicious Activity Reports Are Effective, Report to Congressional Requesters [Reissued on March 26, 2013]
"This report was revised on March 26, 2013, to correct dates on pages 19 and 51 and correct an error on page 53. […] In 2007, DOJ [Department of Justice] and its federal partners developed the Nationwide Suspicious Activity Reporting Initiative to establish a capability to gather and share terrorism-related suspicious activity reports. GAO [Government Accountability Office] was asked to examine the initiative's progress and performance. This report addresses the extent to which (1) federal agencies have made progress in implementing the initiative, and what challenges, if any, remain; (2) the technical means used to collect and share reports overlap or duplicate each other; (3) training has met objectives and been completed; and (4) federal agencies are assessing the initiative's performance and results. GAO analyzed relevant documents and interviewed federal officials responsible for implementing the initiative and stakeholders from seven states (chosen based on their geographic location and other factors). The interviews are not generalizable but provided insight on progress and challenges. GAO recommends that DOJ implement formalized mechanisms to provide stakeholders feedback on the suspicious activity reports they submit, mitigate risks from supporting two systems to collect and share reports that may result in the FBI not receiving needed information, more fully assess if training for line officers meets their needs, and establish plans and time frames for implementing measures that assess the homeland security results the initiative has achieved. DOJ agreed with these recommendations and identified actions taken or planned to implement them."

Emergency Management and Response - Information Sharing and Analysis Center (EMR-ISAC) Fact Sheet
"Protecting and ensuring the continuity and resilience of the Critical Infrastructure and Key Resources (CIKR) of the United States are essential to the Nation's security, public health and safety, economic vitality, and way of life. To that end, Homeland Security Presidential Directive 7 (HSPD-7) has identified the Emergency Services Sector as one of the Nation's 18 CIKR Sectors. The Emergency Services Sector (ESS) is a system of response and recovery elements that forms the Nation's first line of defense and prevention and reduction of consequences from any terrorist attack. It is a sector of trained and tested personnel, plans, redundant systems, agreements, and pacts that provide life safety and security services across the Nation via the first responder community comprised of Federal, State, local, tribal, territorial, and private sector partners. The ESS is representative of the following first-responder disciplines: emergency management, emergency medical services, fire, hazardous material, law enforcement, bomb squads, tactical operations/special weapons assault teams, and search and rescue. All first-responders within the ESS are individuals possessing specialized training from one or more of these disciplines. The ESS has numerous interdependencies with all CIKR sectors. Most notably, it is the primary protector for all CIKR, including nuclear reactors, chemical plants, and dams. All other CIKR facilities depend on the ESS to assist with planning, prevention, and mitigation activities, as well as respond to day-to-day incidents and catastrophic situations."

Bio-Response Operational Testing and Evaluation (BOTE) Project: Phase 1 - Decontamination Assessment
"The Bio-Response Operational Testing and Evaluation (BOTE) Project was a multi-agency effort designed to test and evaluate a complete response to a biological incident - from the initial public health and law enforcement reaction through environmental remediation. The scenario involved the intentional release of 'Bacillus anthracis (Ba)' spores, the causative agent for anthrax, inside a building. In this study, 'Bacillus atrophaeus spp. globigii (Bg)' spores were used as a non-pathogenic surrogate for Ba spores."
