Describe the concept and intent behind fusion centers and explain what you consider to be the primary benefits offered to the homeland security enterprise

I need a 300 word discussion post as well as two 200 word responses.
Discussion Post: Describe the concept and intent behind fusion centers and explain what you consider to be the primary benefits offered to the homeland security enterprise. Provide examples of associated programs and projects currently associated with intelligence and information sharing at the federal, state, or local level.
Response #1 (Brandon): Fusion centers are essential hubs where various government, law enforcement, and private sector partners unite to share intelligence, analyze threats, and coordinate responses for improved homeland security. The core purpose of fusion centers is to facilitate seamless information sharing among different stakeholders to address security threats effectively. Fusion centers offer key benefits such as real-time information sharing, enhanced situational awareness, coordination and collaboration among diverse entities, detailed intelligence analysis, and support for investigations and operations.
One such program is the Nationwide Suspicious Activity Reporting Initiative (NSI), which encourages standardized reporting of suspicious activities for preventing terrorism and crime. Fusion centers are crucial in receiving, analyzing, and disseminating these reports. Furthermore, the Homeland Security Information Network (HSIN) provides a secure platform for collaboration among federal, state, and local partners, with fusion centers utilizing it for information sharing and response coordination. The Urban Area Security Initiative (UASI) grants support to high-threat urban areas in building capabilities to combat terrorism, with fusion centers playing a significant role in intelligence sharing and response planning. Additionally, the Regional Information Sharing Systems (RISS) facilitates the exchange of criminal intelligence information among regional centers, with fusion centers often collaborating with RISS to address criminal activities, including terrorism.

Response #2 (Chris): Hello everyone,
First and foremost, through the last five weeks of class, we have looked at a multitude of different complex ideas, concepts, organizations, partnerships, infrastructure, and the issues that coincide with those mechanisms. In the United States, the Homeland Security Enterprise (HSE) is responsible for drafting, training, sharing, and implementing vital information and practices to prevent and withstand copious threats against the homeland and its critical infrastructure. A large part of the Homeland Security Enterprise’s capabilities and responsibilities is conducting intelligence and counterintelligence far and wide in the U.S. across federal, state, and local platforms and organizations. One of the primary movers in providing adequate security and intelligence measures in the HSE is utilizing fusion centers.
Fusion centers play a dynamic role in the Homeland Security Enterprise. A fusion center is an entity that is state-owned and operated and act as a centered location for states and major urban areas to analyze, share, and gather threat-related details across State, Local, Tribal, and Territorial (SLTT), federal and private sector groups (DHS,2019). How fusion centers can supply this information sharing capability is unique. Since these centers are integrated into their communities, they can offer a unique perspective on specific threats within their localities as a frontline expert. Fortunately, fusion centers throughout the U.S. fall into a national network called the National Network of Fusion Centers (NNFC) allowing for two-way information sharing. In my opinion, the primary benefits fusion centers feed to the HSE are extracting and routing up extremely refined information and threats because of their “hometown” relationships and being able to strategize emergency responses while waiting for higher-level guidance (Bureau of Justice Assistance, n.d.). Moreover, fusion centers can task out local stakeholders like police and fire departments for assistance, instead of waiting for state or federal recommendations to be sent back down the chain. Nonetheless, fusion centers are one of many mechanisms the United States has to maintain intelligence and information.
Looking further, the United States is scattered with endless programs and projects that are currently associated with intelligence and information sharing across all federal, state, and local chains. At the federal level, the Homeland Security Information Network (HSIN) is the official system of the Department of Homeland Security in charge of the trusted sharing of Sensitive But Unclassified (SBU) information across all levels of government (DHS, 2023). This platform has created the Standardized Incident Management Dashboard Template, which can be used to quickly and efficiently pass best practices to benefit public safety during mass events. For example, this platform acted as a “go-to” tool for entities involved in the Boston Marathon Bombing, Deepwater Horizon, and other major events. It is a very neat and easy-to-use tool and the DHS shares a quick video on its exact processes, check it out! Other programs that are dedicated at the state level are Statewide Automated Victim Information and Notification (SAVIN) systems. SAVIN systems are networks to implement an automated method of providing solutions or activities to advocate for crime victim information and notification (SAVIN, n.d.). Despite what it may seem, this is not a specific program, but rather a working chain of state and local law enforcement, courts, corrections, and other victim services with dedicated assets to preventing crime. These organizations help gather and pose detailed information that can help advocate on behalf of victims.
Although they can bleed into state-level support and feedback, local-level programs and procedures also exist. A common local-level program that is seen within the intelligence realm is a Neighbor Watch Program. Neighborhood Watch Programs offer some of the most beneficial and least costly capabilities to prevent crime and formulate resilient bonds among neighborhoods that reduce crime (Neighborhood Watch, n.d.). These friendly and welcoming organizations delegate responsibilities like detecting signs of crime, creating subordinate prevention councils, and many other roles. These internal councils come together to speak on local crime and potential solutions that they can route up to the proper authorities. This way not only are they representing the community with the crimes that witness that outside eyes may not, but they are also solution-minded so support is more likely to be given.
Thank you,
Chris

Discussion post: Discussion Questions:
Part 1. Define leadership, in your own words, and then discuss why it is critical for responding to disease crises.
Part 2. Elaborate on one infectious disease, except for Covid-19, that devasted our nation (from colonial America to the present) by briefly describing what it was, how it was treated (if at all), and the impact it had on our country – do not discuss political leaders.
Part 3. Explain a deliberate use of an infectious disease used by Americans/American troops for political or military gain, or against Americans/American troops, and the impact it had on those who used it and those who were the victims.
Part 4. Discuss one different infectious disease crisis, except Covid-19, and how political leaders of the time were either viewed as successful or failures in their handling of the crisis – do not focus on the disease itself.
Response #! (Josef): Part 1. Define leadership, in your own words, and then discuss why it is critical for responding to disease crises.
Leadership is the ability to give guidance and direction to a person or group of individuals during varying situations to achieve a desired outcome, goal, or vision. There are different kinds of leadership styles that the military teaches that can be utilized for different situations and with different personality types or skill progression. In the Air Force, we were taught four styles, directing, supporting, coaching, and delegating. Directing is used when there is a tight deadline needing to be hit and leaders don’t have enough bandwidth to explain situations or hold hands. Supporting is helping subordinates with tasks and does not give much direction. Coaching is a mix of both supportive and directive to help coach desired work motivation and pass along desired traits. Delegating is just passing the duties onto someone else with little help or input. In disease crisis, either a professional bureaucrat or elected official will emerge as a leader to get the Nation through the situation. The leaders usually go about leading the Nation in one of two ways, Guiliani, or Glendening models. The Guiliani model has the elected official making the steps forward through a crisis with scientific experts providing decision making info while the Glendening model has an expert in that crisis’ field of study making decisions with the elected official supporting them. (Kahn, 2009). People need a leader that will get elected officials and scientific elites to cooperate and work together toward a desired outcome to get through a crisis and help reduce public distress with how the situation is being dealt with.
Part 2. Elaborate on one infectious disease, except for Covid-19, that devasted our nation (from colonial America to the present) by briefly describing what it was, how it was treated (if at all), and the impact it had on our country – do not discuss political leaders.
On March 11, 1993, in Milwaukee Wisconsin, the largest documented waterborne outbreak in U.S. History started. Water filtration systems for the Milwaukee Water Works failed and distributed water containing a parasite called cryptosporidium to the surrounding consumers. The water out of the tap was tinted brown and complaints and concerns were initially dismissed by the water works company who claimed that the water was safe to drink. This was short lived, as people started flooding the hospitals with symptoms ranging from severe diarrhea to vomiting and anti-diarrhea medications were flying off the shelves. Subsequently, a boil water alert was implemented, and a blame game started between farmers who were blamed for water contamination from their farming practices to the water company for lying about the situation. Eventually the water plant was shut down. In the end, 100 people of the 400,000 infected had been killed by the parasite. (Kahn, 2009). The cost of the outbreak on the city of Milwaukee was $96.2 million between medical cost and productivity losses; this demonstrates the need for water treatment in America to invest in new water treatment technology to deal with decreasing raw water quality that impact public safety and National security (Corso, et al., 2003).
Part 3. Explain a deliberate use of an infectious disease used by Americans/American troops for political or military gain, or against Americans/American troops, and the impact it had on those who used it and those who were the victims.
The bioweapon program in America was started after other nations had already began and utilized them. The weapons were thought to be ineffective in application due to their sensitivity to environmental factors that destroy the disease before it can infect a target. Zoonotic diseases that can be transferred between animals to humans were thought to be the most promising to be used in open-air dispersal effectiveness. In 1950, the Army dispersed Serratia marcescens bacteria over open areas and urban areas from a ship near San Francisco that killed a Stanford student and infected 10 others. Other testing and maintenance incidents lead to President Nixon to implement the Biological Weapons Convention to cease biological weapon production and use (Kahn, 2009).
Part 4. Discuss one different infectious disease crisis, except Covid-19, and how political leaders of the time were either viewed as successful or failures in their handling of the crisis – do not focus on the disease itself.
The 1950’s Polio epidemic was the worst outbreak in American history at the time that disabled and killed tens of thousands of children. President Roosevelt, who had dealt with the disease himself, was credited with creating the National Foundation for Infantile paralysis (March of Dimes). The foundation was established to fund research for a vaccine that would end polio. Eventually a scientist and his research team who shared the same vision as President Roosevelt developed a vaccine through the Salk Institute. (Tan & Ponstein, 2019). The leadership that President Roosevelt presented through his actions inspired people that fueled his battle against the disease. (Welky, 2020).

Is FGM an act of violence?

Is FGM an act of violence?

Female genital mutilation (FGM) is a practice common in certain areas of the world, most notably in parts of Africa, the Middle East, and a handful of Asian countries. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, more than half a million females in the United States — mostly immigrants — have been (or will be) exposed to FGM. Although federal law outlaws FGM, many states have also passed legislation to further restrict its practice and to raise awareness with at-risk communities. Two such bills, HB1466, An Act to Prohibit Female Genital Mutilation, and HB3332, An Act Relative to the Penalties for the Crime of Female Genital Mutilation, are currently pending in the Massachusetts House of Representatives before the Judiciary Committee. Using anthropological theories of violence, examine this controversial procedure from opposing sides by answering the following question: Is FGM an act of violence? Be sure to couch your argument in theory, carefully examining the issue from different perspectives. Finally, if you were asked to testify as an expert in support or opposition of these bills, what position would you take and why?

What specific role(s) does risk management play in national security and why is it of importance to homeland security and defense initiatives?

What specific role(s) does risk management play in national security and why is it of importance to homeland security and defense initiatives?

I am in need of a 250 word discussion post as well as 200 word responses.
Discussion post: What specific role(s) does risk management play in national security and why is it of importance to homeland security and defense initiatives? Within the homeland security enterprise, how does cyber-security specifically factor into critical infrastructure protection and risk management?
Response #1 (Uchendu): Afternoon Sir and Classmates,
Last week we talked about the Critical Infrastructure Risk Management Framework at the five-step method decision-making process for the protection of CIKRs. This week speaks to the role risk management has and the importance of the initiatives set by homeland security (HLS) and homeland defense (HLD). The use of the new risk assessment formula assists with determining the variables needed to create the level of risks proposed by different threats. The results of these analysis push the adaptation and implementation of strategies for both HSE and DOD stakeholders to develop their initiatives toward national security.
According to the National Infrastructure Protection Plan (NIPP) “To achieve critical infrastructure security and resilience, critical infrastructure partners must collectively identify priorities, articulate clear goals, mitigate risk, measure progress, and adapt based on feedback and the changing environment” (Dolbow 2024). This statement demonstrates the risk management approach that must be achieved by homeland security enterprise (HSE) agencies. Specifically, the threat of malicious cyber activity conducted by nation-state or criminal organizations. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) guiding principles of risk prioritization, cost-effectiveness, innovation, collaboration, global approach, balanced equities, and national values encompasses their cybersecurity measures. This all points to one thing. The risk analysis posed towards the threat of a cyber-attack towards our nations CIKR is a serious one. When utilizing a three-question risk assessment of what can go wrong, what is the likelihood, and what are the consequences (Santos 2020), we can contrast aftermaths from different scenarios and by different actors. The outcome of a cyber-attack on an electrical power grid may create different responses from a natural disaster. The use of rehearsed critical action plans, specifically for the preparedness, response, recovery, and mitigation from cyber attacks speaks to the importance placed on the protection of CIKRs.

Response #2 (Dylan): Risk management, in the context of national security, allows for identification, assessment and mitigation of potential threats and vulnerabilities that are hazardous to the nation’s interests, critical infrastructure, and populous. Risk management exists in every facet of homeland security and defense operations. It is important because it allows the “powers that be” an opportunity to step back and think about what they are trying to accomplish and why. It has the potential to thwart negative consequences that can result from action or inaction before they can happen.
Using my profession in aviation under the DoD as an example, before every sortie my teammates and I go fly, the pilot in command must write up and brief risk with the operations superintendent. There is a point scale that exist for environmental conditions, crew member factors, events to be accomplished, proficiency, etc. Higher points total equal higher risk. Higher risk requires higher approval authority (transfer) for mission execution. Even moderate to lower risk requires mitigation efforts and an explanation of how we are going to accomplish what we need to accomplish in a safe manner, even on a routine training sortie. The bottom line is that the appropriate application of risk analysis and risk management can save lives and scarce, valuable resources.
Critical infrastructure in the United States relies heavily on information technology and interconnectedness. American transportation, power, finance, and water systems require intricate networks and firewalls that identify vulnerabilities an defend against attacks. Malware, ransomware, and nation state sponsored attacks are some examples of threats to our critical infrastructure. Cyber security initiatives, involving private business and homeland security organizations such as CISA, assist with protecting critical data, identifying perpetrators of attacks, and incident recovery when attacks do occur. By integrating cybersecurity into overall risk management, homeland security agencies and operators of critical infrastructure can make informed decisions about their resources, strategies, and responses to enhance resilience against cyber threats.
