Pennsylvania Office of Homeland Security
Description
Pennsylvania Homeland Security addresses the security needs of the state. Developed in response to 9/11 the Homeland Security Office is focusing on a range of important security needs and services, including transportation–related issues. Potential high–threat topics (e.g., nuclear power plants, DOE shipments, chemical industry, major distribution of gas and electric utilities, and other target infrastructure) are all covered through the Office's Homeland Security mission. Initially, the ITS Architecture focuses on security issues as part of incident management. In the future, as the Office's mandate is refined, additional security services and needs are likely to be reflected in the Architecture.
