The Multi-Jurisdiction Improvised Explosive Device Security Planning (MJIEDSP) Program is a systematic process that fuses counter-improvised explosive device (IED) capability analysis, training, and planning to enhance IED prevention, protection, mitigation, and response capabilities. The program assists with collectively identifying roles, responsibilities, capability gaps, and how to optimize limited resources within a multi-jurisdictional planning area.
Bomb threats or suspicious items should always be taken seriously. How quickly and safely you react to a bomb threat could save lives, including your own.
The Bomb-Making Materials Awareness Program (BMAP), a counter-terrorism risk management bombing prevention program focusing on restricting access by malicious actors to explosive precursor chemicals, explosive powders, exploding target materials, associated components, and delivery methods. BMAP is most effective during the terrorist attack cycle's planning phase. The two focus areas of BMAP are the acquisition of materials and bomb-building stages.
To reduce risk to the nation's critical infrastructure, the CISA's Office for Bombing Prevention (OBP) develops and delivers a diverse curriculum of training and awareness products to enhance national security by building public and private capabilities to deter, prevent, and respond to bombing incidents.
To reduce risk to the nation’s critical infrastructure, OBP develops and delivers a diverse curriculum of training to build nationwide counter-IED core capabilities and enhance awareness of terrorist threats.
