- 2011 Chemical Sector Security Summit
The Chemical Security Summit provides a forum for attendees to exchange information and network with other security professionals. Additionally, the Summit allows participants the opportunity to ask specific questions about the Chemical Facility Anti-Terrorism Standards (CFATS) as well as gain insight into the role of different agencies and departments involved in chemical security. - Chemical Facility Anti-Terrorism Standards (CFATS): Request a Presentation
Request a presentation on the Chemical Facility Anti-Terrorism Standards (CFATS) regulatory program. - Chemical Sector Training and Resources
The Chemical Sector-Specific Agency (SSA), within the Office of Infrastructure Protection's SSA Executive Management Office (SSA EMO), works collaboratively with sector partners to develop free, voluntary programs and publications to help mitigate security risk in the sector. - Chemical Sector: Critical Infrastructure and Key Resources
The Chemical Sector is an integral component of the U.S. economy, employing nearly 1 million people, and earning revenues of more than $637 billion per year. - Chemical Security Assessment Tool
The Chemical Security Assessment Tool is the Department of Homeland Security's system for collecting and analyzing key data from chemical facilities to identify facilities that present a high level of risk, support the preliminary and final tiering decisions for individual high-risk facilities, assess a facility’s security vulnerabilities, and evaluate a facility’s security plan to address vulnerabilities and meet risk-based performance standards. - Chemical-terrorism Vulnerability Information
Chemical-terrorism Vulnerability Information (CVI) is information gathered from chemical facilities about their operations and chemicals that is protected from public disclosure. - Critical Infrastructure: Chemical Security
The Department of Homeland Security is responsible for regulating security at high-risk chemical facilities. However, chemical security is not solely a federal responsibility; it is shared among federal, state, and local governments, as well as the private sector. Government and industry must work together to strengthen the security of America's chemical facilities, while not undercutting an important part of the nation's economy.
