14 THE NATIONAL STRATEGY FOR THE PHYSICAL PROTECTION OF CRITICAL INFRASTRUCTURES AND KEY ASSETS
ORGANIZING AND PARTNERING FOR CRITICAL INFRASTRUCTURE AND KEY ASSET PROTECTION Implementing a comprehensive national critical infrastructure and key asset protection strategy requires clear and unifying organization, clarity of purpose, common understanding of roles and responsibilities, accountability, and a set of well-understood coordinating processes. A solid organizational scheme sets the stage for effective engagement and interaction between the public and private sectors. Without it, accomplishing the task of coordinating and integrating domestic protection policy, planning, resource management, performance measurement, and enabling initiatives across federal, state, and local governments, and the private sector would be impossible. The work of providing a clearly defined and unifying organizational framework began with the publication of the President’s National Strategy for Homeland Security and continues in this document. This chapter clarifies public- and private-sector roles and responsibilities for critical infrastructure and key asset protection. Ultimately, success lies in our ability to draw effectively and efficiently upon the unique core competencies and resources of each stakeholder. Given the range and complexity of required protection activities and the number of entities involved, clearlydefined authority, accountability, and coordinating processes will provide the foundation for a successful and sustainable national protection effort. complementary, collaborative relationships and efficiently aligns our Nation’s protection resources. CLARIFYING ROLES AND RESPONSIBILITIES In our federalist system of government, federal, state, and local governments and private industry have specific roles and perform certain functions that must be integrated to assure protection. Additionally, each critical infrastructure owner/operator possesses unique capabilities, expertise, and resources that, when integrated appropriately, can contribute to a comprehensive national protection effort. ORGANIZATION AND PARTNERING CHALLENGES Overlapping federal, state, and local governance and the ownership structure of our critical infrastructures and key assets present significant protection challenges. The entities involved are diverse, and the level of understanding of protection roles and responsibilities differs accordingly. Furthermore, these organizations and individuals represent systems, operations, and institutional cultures that are complex and diverse. The range of protective activities that each must undertake is vast and varies from one enterprise to the next. Finally, overlapping protection authorities across federal, state, and local jurisdictions vary greatly. Success in implementing this Strategy’s wide range of protection activities lies in establishing a unifying organizational framework that allows the development of THE NATIONAL STRATEGY FOR THE PHYSICAL PROTECTION OF CRITICAL INFRASTRUCTURES AND KEY ASSETS 15
