DHS Publishes 2015 CSSS Presentations

Earlier this week DHS updated the Chemical Sector Security Summit web site. A number of the presentations that were made at the 2015 CSSS in July now have their slides available on-line.

The on-line slides include:

• Infrastructure Security Compliance Division (ISCD) Regulatory Update

• Outcomes and Perspectives of Executive Order (EO) 13650: Improving Chemical Facility Safety and Security

• Chemical Facility Anti-Terrorism Standards (CFATS) and Maritime Transportation Security Act (MTSA) for Newcomers

• What to Expect During a CFATS Inspection

• Alternative Security Programs (ASPs) and Expedited Approval Program (EAP) Site Security Plan (SSP)

• Site Security Plans (SSPs) and Compliance Inspection Trends

• Responsible Agriculture Session

• Local Resources (Presentations from ISCD and the  State, Local, Tribal, and Territorial • • • • Government Coordinating Council)

• Incident Management: The Role of Social Media Messaging

I have done a quick look review of all of these slide sets and they all contain some valuable information about various aspects of the CFATS Program. Unfortunately, they do not contain the audio portion of the presentation so some of the detailed information provided at the CSSS has been lost. The Department did provide web casts of two presentations this year; the keynote by Amy Pope and David Wulf’s CFATS Update. Hopefully there will be more web casts next year.
