Food & Agriculture Challenges

• Most complicated of the 17 Critical Infrastructures/Key Resources (CI/KR)

• Substantially privately held infrastructure• Most globally distributed CI/KR• Information system needs span from agricultural

inputs to public health response systems to harden the infrastructure

Information System Needs

• Real time sharing of information across the infrastructure

• Rapid access to agriculture, food and public health data for prevention, response and recovery

• KISS to make sure it works for every user when they need it

Current Information Systems

• A wide array developed to meet specific stakeholder needs

• Private, public and academic systems in use/development with various levels of integration

• Complex food and agriculture make it difficult for one system meeting all needs

• Users design a master requirements document using industry templates or custom forms for vendors to complete

This module allows you to set requirements then search and report on your compliant and non compliant vendors.

Notification is sent to non compliant vendors with links to missing documents.

Vendor Requirements

• Users designs recall forms to handle company wide recall needs

Recall Management

HSIN Objectives (2007 SSP)

• Alerts/Broadcasting/Narrowcasting From DHS: A secure medium for DHS and sector leaders to transmit actionable alerts and warnings to a specific audience about threats to critical infrastructure.

• HSIN-CS Portal: The capability to store sensitive documents, including sophisticated imaging and maps. The portal enables real-time analysis of data and reporting tasks. It will provide a knowledge base that enables planning and coordination within the critical infrastructure sectors and eventually across these sectors.

HSIN Objectives (2007 SSP)

• Collaboration Tools: A peer-to-peer collaboration space for members to engage in real-time dialogue. Members can create their own private groups to discuss defined topics and collaborate on common documents.

• HSIN-CS Infrastructure: The underlying technology platform and network, upon which additional infrastructure can be added.

Observations Moving Forward

• Food and agriculture stakeholder groups each have unique primary information needs

• No one system will cover the needs of all stakeholder groups

• Information systems for emergencies must be familiar to the user

• An integrated suite of information systems the most efficient solution

Observations Moving Forward

• HSIN will be a primary DHS instrument• Creating the capacity to meet all of food &

agriculture’s needs unique to HSIN a challenge• HSIN as a portal of portals and “magic key” the

most efficient solution
