Technology Development
Detection
Biological Foundations
Provide early warning and identify casualties and
contaminated areas with high sensitivity and low
false alarms
Develop essential biological information for
detection and medical counter-measures.
Modeling Prediction
Restoration
Develop tools for consequence/crisis management,
including urban transport, agent fate, and
analysis
Quickly restore civilian facilities for use

Office of Energy Assurance
Mission Strengthen U.S. security by applying
science and technology to improve the reliability
and security of critical energy infrastructure
and to protect Americans from the potential use
of this infrastructure as a means to carry out
terrorist attacks.

• Presidential Decision Directive 63 established
  the Department of Energy as the lead for assuring
  the protection of the nations energy
  infrastructure
• Work through the States and with industry to
  coordinate the Federal government's effort to
  ensure a secure and reliable flow of energy
