Indian lands are comprised of over 100 million acres. These lands contain 260 miles of national borders and many miles of seacoasts. In addition, these lands include hundreds of miles of nationally critical national infrastructure such as vital pipelines, electric transmission lines, important railroads and highways, power plants, over 145 critical dams (including the second largest producer of hydroelectric power in the U.S.), water resources, coal mines, oil and/or gas fields, agricultural lands, and tourist attractions. All of the above combine to present significant homeland security vulnerabilities on Indian lands, including the uncontrolled immigration of undocumented foreign nationals. These vulnerabilities can lead to terrorist attacks and increase losses due to other catastrophic events. October 26, 2007 Version 3.0 Page 4 Embracing Tribal Partnerships for Regional Homeland Security Collaboration Training Support Package Participant Manual The United States Congress recognizes the need for federal programs that create vigilant, prepared, and resilient communities. As the threats of terrorism increase and evolve and significant natural and man-made disasters continue to threaten our communities, the U.S. Government has expanded its efforts in addressing homeland security. The U.S. Department of Homeland Security, Office of Grants and Training, is supporting several major initiatives, this training being one of them, to improve the capabilities of the tribes, public safety personnel, governmental and non-governmental organizations, school and post- secondary education officials, medical professionals, community members, and tribal members in creating vigilant, prepared, and resilient communities with respect to homeland security. This course, developed by the Western Community Policing Institute (WCPI) and the National Native American Law Enforcement Association (NNALEA), is one such initiative. It is designed to provide initial awareness-level training, followed by continued training and support that builds community capacity in support of improving homeland security. The first step in program development will be to develop a foundational two-day awareness-level curriculum that provides participants with the information and structure needed to begin regional collaboration between multiple sectors, jurisdictions, regions and states in building cooperative capabilities. Training content will include specific instruction on coordinating homeland security preparedness assistance efforts on a regional basis, maximizing manpower, assets and resource inventories to produce effective collaborative efforts, resource tools and methodologies that promote a national approach for critical infrastructure protection, and improving responses in planning and community outreach. Course materials will also include instruction on how to identify and prepare vulnerable populations before and after a catastrophic event. Together these areas will be aligned and overlaid with national target capabilities, NIMS, and the National Response Plan, to ensure congruence and provide required guidance. Due to the remoteness, isolation, and lack of adequate resources of some Tribal lands regional collaboration becomes invaluable for Tribal homeland security issues, in that, regional partnerships provide added resources needed for local homeland security.
