The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) provides an array of cross-sector and sector-specific training programs and resources, which are available to public and private sector partners.

Private Sector-Preparation (PS-PREP™) Framework Guides

DHS is collaborating with critical infrastructure partners to produce sector-specific PS-PREP™ Framework Guides. The process includes identifying sector-specific guidelines, effective practices, and relevant regulations, and mapping these existing preparedness efforts to the DHS-adopted standards.

Active Shooter Preparedness

The Active Shooter Preparedness resources include a desk reference guide, a reference poster, and a pocket-size reference card to address how employees, managers, training staff, and human resources personnel can mitigate the risk of and appropriately react in the event of an active shooter situation.

Suspicious Activity Reporting Tool

This tool is a standardized means by which critical infrastructure partners can report suspicious or unuasual activities to the government via sector sites on the Homeland Security Information Network - Critical Sectors.

Critical Infrastructure Resource Center

The Critical Infrastructure Resource Center is an online tool designed to build awareness and understanding of the scope and efforts of all the critical infrastructure sectors. Each sector page provides sector goals, priorities, protective programs and initiatives, and other resources, as reflected in the latest sector-specific plans and sector webpages.
