Homeland Security Presidential Directive 16: [Classified]
National Security Presidential Directive 47/ Homeland Security Presidential Directive 16 are classified directives that address aviation security. According to the Rules and Regulations Plan for the Emergency Security Control of Air Traffic (ESCAT) ( Federal Register volume 71, no. 203/Friday, October 20, 2006), where they are referenced, the directives change how air traffic would be controlled in the event of a terrorist attack. Decisions on shutting down airspace would be given to the Department of Defense with the President as the only civilian to have veto power. The new plan allows the Department of Defense to determine when to call an Air Defense Emergency and to decide what airspace sectors would be involved in a shutdown, a change seen as being friendly to the economic community. The plan does not define an "end" to an emergency.

National Preparedness Guidance: Homeland Security Presidential Directive 8
"Fundamental to the mission of the U.S. Department of Homeland Security is the mitigation of threats, vulnerabilities, and consequences that stem from acts of terrorism, major disasters, and other emergencies. This is a shared responsibility and a shared commitment of Federal, State, local, and tribal governments, as well as the private sector. The Interim National Preparedness Goal (or Goal) summarizes the initial results of significant work completed since December 17, 2003, when President Bush issued Homeland Security Presidential Directive 8: National Preparedness (HSPD-8). This approach transforms how the Federal government proposes to strengthen the preparedness of the United States to prevent, protect against, respond to, and recover from terrorist attacks, major disasters, and other emergencies, and how the Federal government proposes to invest homeland security resources in order to achieve the greatest return on investment for our Nations homeland security. It is animated by a sense of urgency and by a commitment to risk-based priorities."

Homeland Security Presidential Directive 14: Domestic Nuclear Detection Office [Fact Sheet]
This document is a fact sheet for HSPD (Homeland Security Presidential Directive) 14 / NSPD (National Security Presidential Directive) 43, which established the Domestic Nuclear Detection Office (DNMO). "As part of the national effort to protect the nation from radiological and nuclear threats, the Domestic Nuclear Detection Office (DNDO) is being established as a national office staffed by representatives from several federal, state, and local government agencies. The office will reside within the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and the DNDO director will report to the Secretary of Homeland Security. The DNDO will provide a single accountable organization with dedicated responsibilities to develop the global nuclear detection architecture, and acquire, and support the deployment of the domestic detection system to detect and report attempts to import or transport a nuclear device or fissile or radiological material intended for illicit use. The mission of the office addresses a broad spectrum of radiological and nuclear protective measures, but is focused directly on nuclear detection. This includes establishing strong linkages across multiple Departments and levels of government for: the development of the global nuclear detection architecture; the acquisition and support-to-deployment of the domestic detection system; the enhancement of effective sharing and use of nuclear detection-related information and intelligence; the coordination of nuclear detection research and development to continually improve detection capability; and the establishment of procedures and training for the end users of equipment developed and deployed through the new office."

Homeland Security Presidential Directive (HSPD) 10 outlines policy for Biodefense in the 21st century. "The United States has pursued aggressively a broad range of programs and capabilities to confront the biological weapons threat.

Specific direction to departments and agencies to carry out this biodefense program is contained in a classified version of this directive."

Homeland Security Presidential Directive-3
"The Nation requires a Homeland Security Advisory System to provide a comprehensive and effective means to disseminate information regarding the risk of terrorist acts to Federal, State, and local authorities and to the American people. Such a system would provide warnings in the form of a set of graduated 'Threat Conditions' that would increase as the risk of the threat increases. At each Threat Condition, Federal departments and agencies would implement a corresponding set of 'Protective Measures' to further reduce vulnerability or increase response capability during a period of heightened alert. This system is intended to create a common vocabulary, context, and structure for an ongoing national discussion about the nature of the threats that confront the homeland and the appropriate measures that should be taken in response. It seeks to inform and facilitate decisions appropriate to different levels of government and to private citizens at home and at work."

Homeland Security Presidential Directive-2: Combating Terrorism Through Immigration Policies
From the Document: "The United States has a long and valued tradition of welcoming immigrants and visitors. But the attacks of September 11, 2001, showed that some come to the United States to commit terrorist acts, to raise funds for illegal terrorist activities, or to provide other support for terrorist operations, here and abroad. It is the policy of the United States to work aggressively to prevent aliens who engage in or support terrorist activity from entering the United States and to detain, prosecute, or deport any such aliens who are within the United States."
