摘要: |
The Department of Homeland Security considers the protection of our national infrastructure systems to be one of its main missions as set forth in Homeland Security Presidential Directive 7 (HSPD-7), Critical Infrastructural Identification, Prioritization, and Protection. The primary goal of the National Infrastructural Protection Plan (DHS 2006: 3) which defines the specific federal responsibilities and strategies for implementing HSPD-7is to build a safer, more resilient America by enhancing the nations civil infrastructural systems from terrorist attacks and natural or technological disasters through strengthening preparedness, improving response capabilities, and developing rapid recovery strategies. Of special relevance to this proposal is the joint responsibility of the Department of Transportation and DHS to collaborate on all matters pertaining to transportation security and transportation infrastructural protection1. This research also begins to address needs identified by DelDOT and FHWA including the need to 1) assess the vulnerability and risk of Delawares critical infrastructure (including bridges and tunnels); 2) develop possible countermeasures to detect and deter terrorist threats to such assets; 3) estimate the capital and operating costs of such countermeasures, and 4) improve security operational planning for better protection against terrorism. While not addressing these issues directly, this research provides background and context including the common area between infrastructure security and emergency preparedness for natural hazards. |
