Created in the aftermath of the 9/11 terrorist attacks, Fusion CentersĀ¹ are state-
owned and operated centers that serve as focal points in states and major urban
areas for the receipt, analysis, gathering and sharing of threat-related information
between State, Local, Tribal and Territorial (SLTT), federal and private sector
partners. The centers are organized into the National Network of Fusion
Centers which brings critical context and value to Homeland Security and Law
Enforcement that no other federal or local organization can replicate. Fusion
Centers utilize this network to share information on emerging threats, providing
partners with a unique perspective on threats to their state or locality. The
National Network of Fusion Centers is the hub of much of the two-way intelligence
and information flow between the federal government and our SLTT and private
sector partners. The fusion centers represent a shared commitment between the
federal government and the state and local governments who own and operate
them. Individually, each is a vital resource for integrating information from national
and local sources to prevent and respond to all threats and hazards. The enhanced
collaboration between the federal government, SLTT and private sector partners
represents the new standard through which we view homeland security.View entire presentation
