Strengthening Critical Infrastructure Security and Countering Extremism
This act aims to enhance the security of critical facilities like power plants and hospitals by training local officials in terrorism risk assessment. It also establishes information platforms for facility owners to easily access security guidance. This means potentially greater safety for citizens and better protection against attacks.
Key points
Training for Officials: Local authorities will be trained by federal experts to better assess the risk of terrorist attacks on important facilities in your area.
Access to Security Knowledge: Owners of critical facilities (e.g., water, energy providers) will gain easier access to advice and best practices for their protection, which can lead to greater security for the services you use daily.
Strengthening Protection Against Extremism: These measures aim to increase the resilience of infrastructure to threats, including those related to extremism, indirectly impacting public safety.
