CHICAGO INFRAGARD

From drinking water supplies to communications systems, chemical production processes to agricultural resources, Americans depend on a select group of critical infrastructures to sustain our way of life. Any attempts to harm or destroy these resources would directly impact the security of the United States and its citizens... Most of these systems and services are owned and operated by private industry. Therefore, the protection of our nation's infrastructure cannot be accomplished by the federal government alone. It requires coordinated action from numerous stakeholders - including government, the private sector, law enforcement and concerned citizens.
