EPA’s Homeland Security research program advances the Agency’s ability to carry out its homeland security responsibilities, including protecting and restoring drinking water supplies and infrastructure, and helping communities become more resilient to natural disasters and to acts of terrorism that involve chemical, biological, or radiological weapons.

The Homeland Security Strategic Research Action Plan outlines how the program aims to meet the homeland security science needs of EPA partners and stakeholders. This is a four-year strategy to deliver research results and solutions needed to support EPA’s overall mission to protect human health and the environment, fulfill the EPA’s legislative mandates, and advance cross-Agency priorities.
