America is at war with terrorist enemies who are intent on
attacking our Homeland and destroying our way of life. The lives
and livelihoods of the American people also remain at risk from
natural catastrophes, including naturally occurring infectious
diseases and hazards such as hurricanes and earthquakes, and
man-made accidents. Our National Strategy for Homeland Security
recognizes that while we must continue to focus on the persistent
and evolving terrorist threat, we also must address the full range
of potential catastrophic events, including man-made and natural
disasters, due to their implications for homeland security. The
purpose of our Strategy is to guide, organize, and unify our
Nation's homeland security efforts. It provides a common framework
by which our entire Nation should focus its efforts on the
following four goals: Prevent and disrupt terrorist attacks;
Protect the American people, our critical infrastructure, and key
resources; Respond to and recover from incidents that do occur; and
Continue to strengthen the foundation to ensure our long-term
success. While the first three goals help to organize our national
efforts, the last goal entails creating and transforming our
homeland security principles, systems, structures, and
institutions. This includes applying a comprehensive approach to
risk management, building a culture of preparedness, developing a
comprehensive Homeland Security Management System, improving
incident management, better utilizing science and technology, and
leveraging all instruments of national power and influence.
Homeland security requires a truly national effort, with shared
goals and responsibilities for protecting and defending the
Homeland. Our Strategy leverages the unique strengths and
capabilities of all levels of government, the private and
non-profit sectors, communities, and individual citizens. Mindful
that many of the threats we face do not recognize geographic
boundaries, we also will continue to work closely with our
international partners throughout the world. This updated Strategy,
which builds directly from the first National Strategy for Homeland
Security issued in July 2002, reflects our increased understanding
of the terrorist threats confronting the United States today,
incorporates lessons learned from exercises and real-world
catastrophes - including Hurricane Katrina - and proposes new
initiatives and approaches that will enable the Nation to achieve
our homeland security objectives. This Strategy also complements
both the National Security Strategy issued in March 2006 and the
National Strategy for Combating Terrorism issued in September 2006.
Our first and most solemn obligation is to protect the American
people. The National Strategy for Homeland Security will guide our
Nation as we honor this commitment and achieve a more secure
Homeland that sustains our way of life as a free, prosperous, and
welcoming America.
