Keynote -- Securing the Nation's Critical Infrastructure & Key Resources
Presenter: Chuck Clanahan
Protective Security Officer, U.S. Department of Homeland Security
Location: Big 12 Room
Abstract: To provide a closer partnership with State governments, local communities, and businesses, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has placed a national presence, Protective Security Advisors (PSAs), in local communities throughout the country to assist with local efforts to protect critical assets. PSAs provide a Federal resource to communities and businesses to assist in the protection of our Nation's critical infrastructure and key resources (CIKR) and further State and local homeland security initiatives. CIKR’s are what we deem most crucial in terms of national level public health and safety, governance, economic and national security, and public confidence consequences.
