Border Security“We look at all borders – air, land, and sea on the Southwest, Northern, and maritime borders. The threat to our borders is far more complex than terrorism. It more likely stems from narco-trafficking, alien smuggling, money laundering, and organized crime, which are all intertwined in networks that cross our borders into the Homeland.”Chemical, Biological, Radiological and Nuclear Security“Improvised nuclear devices (INDs) and radiological dispersal devices (RDDs) – and especially the bioterrorist threat…  We also focus on explosives and infectious 27diseases such as avian flu and foot-and-mouth disease, threats for which DHS also has responsibilities.” Health Security“A variety of naturally occurring diseases could significantly affect the health of U.S. citizens, undermine Homeland food supply, and threaten the economic stability of the U.S. agricultural industry.”Domestic Extremism and Radicalization“The process of adopting an extremist belief system, including the willingness to use, support, or facilitate violence, as a method to effect societal change.” 27Critical Infrastructure and Key Resources (CI/KR)18 Sectors • Banking and finance• Chemical• Commercial facilities• Commercial nuclear reactors, materials, and waste• Energy• Food and agriculture• Government facilities• Information technology• National monuments and icons28• Critical manufacturing• Dams• Defense industrial base• Drinking water and wastewater treatment systems• Emergency services• Postal and shipping• Public health and healthcare• Telecommunications• Transportation systems28Questions? 2929
