Accomplishing these missions necessitates building and fostering a collaborative environment in which the private sector and Federal, State, local, tribal, and territorial governments can better protect critical infrastructure. The Commercial Facilities (CF) Sector is one of 18 critical infrastructure sectors designated by the Department. Within the CF Sector, the Outdoor Venues Subsector represents entities that provide the public with places to meet and gather in outdoor spaces for the purposes of entertainment, education, and recreation. The industry is designated as critical infrastructure because it is essential to the Nation’s economic vitality and way of life. It is critical to the Department’s vision of ensuring a homeland that is safe, secure, and resilient against terrorism and other hazards. Within DHS, this overarching responsibility for critical infrastructure protection is delegated to the National Protection and Programs Directorate’s (NPPD) Office of Infrastructure Protection (IP), specifically the Sector-Specific Agency Executive Management Office (SSA EMO) CF Branch for commercial facilities. Serving as the Sector-Specific Agency (SSA) for the CF Sector, the CF Branch works with its partners to address and highlight low-cost preparedness and risk management options in the products and tools it makes available to the private sector. For example, the CF SSA has been working to produce a suite of protective measures guides that provide an overview of best practices and protective measures designed to assist owners and operators in planning and managing security at their facilities or events. The Protective Measures Guide for the U.S. Outdoor Venues Industry is one of these guides and reflects the special considerations and challenges posed by the Outdoor Venues Subsector. For more information on IP and SSA EMO please visit http://www.dhs.gov/criticalinfrastructure. DHS received input from private sector owners and operators, and the following associations and law enforcement agencies in the preparation of this guide: m U.S. Secret Service m Federal Bureau of Investigation m New York Police Department m International Association of Venue Managers m International Festivals & Events Association m World Waterpark Association This Protective Measures Guide for the U.S. Outdoor Venues Industry is designed to provide venue owners and operators with information that can be used to maintain a safe environment for patrons and employees. The measures provide suggestions for successful planning, organizing, coordinating, communicating, operating, and training activities to augment the overall security posture at outdoor venues.
