Abstract
Based on research conducted between January and July of 2005 by the Institute for Public
Administration (IPA) at the University of Delaware with funding from the Delaware Department
of Transportation, this report gives a general picture of the national homeland security framework
and the way in which infrastructure security organization and policies have evolved within that
framework.
The report studies the national overview of infrastructure security, including the history of
federal involvement and influence, and evaluates the risks, threats, and vulnerabilities for three
critical infrastructure sectors. In addition, it offers specific analysis on some of the specific risks,
threats, and vulnerabilities for Delaware. It outlines the organization of infrastructure security
with an assessment of the current structure’s effectiveness. Lastly, the report provides
recommendations for change to improve the organization of infrastructure security.
