The National Strategy for Physical Protection of Critical Infrastructures and Key Assets serves as a critical bridge between the National Strategy for Homeland Security and a national protection plan to be developed by the Department of Homeland Security. The strategic objectives that underpin the national infrastructure and key asset protection effort include:
  • Identifying and assuring the protection of those infrastructure and assets we deem most critical;
  • Providing timely warning and assuring the protection of those infrastructures and assets that face a specific, imminent threat; and
  • Assuring the protection of other infrastructures and assets that may become targets over time by pursuing specific initiatives and enabling a collaborative environment between the public and private sector.

This Strategy identifies major protection initiatives for the following critical infrastructure sectors:

• Agriculture and Food
• Water
• Public Health
• Emergency Services
• Defense Industrial Base
• Telecommunications
• Energy
• Transportation
• Banking and Finance
• Chemicals and Hazardous Materials
• Postal and Shipping
 

Protecting Key Assets: This Strategy identifies major protection initiatives for the following key asset categories:


• National Monuments and Icons
• Nuclear Power Plants
• Dams
• Government Facilities
• Commercial Key Assets
