Security Analysis Report
CJ 310 Project Two
Southern New Hampshire University
Introduction
The Department of Homeland Security is incredibly large in its scope and the umbrella of
organizations under its charge. This report will take a closer look at the Federal Emergency
Management Agency and the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agency and explain
their roles, organizational structure, how they protect a specific critical infrastructure sector and
how their missions help to maintain the safety of U.S. citizens.
Roles of Major Agencies Within DHS
The Federal Emergency Management Agency, or FEMA, assists local and state
governments as well as their residents immediately following disasters and in the longer term.
FEMA also conducts programs to help prepare for imminent disasters. FEMA provides services
like advising on building codes, flood plain management to help equip local emergency agencies,
and coordinating federal responses to a disaster ("AllGov - Federal Emergency Management
Agency", n.d.).
Under President Jimmy Carter, FEMA was created to consolidate several emergency
agencies in 1978 (Martin, 2019). This put FEMA at the forefront of the all-hazards umbrella,
which answers to a wide range of natural and human-made disasters. FEMA currently
coordinates and shares information and resources with local and state governments and military
and civil defense authorities. If FEMA was unable to share information effectively down its
chain, localities would likely not be prepared to endure disasters without federal assistance.
The United States Immigration and Customs Enforcement agency is tasked with
strengthening border security and preventing illegal movement of people, goods, and funds into,
within, and out of the US ("ICE's Mission", n.d.). ICE is composed of two law
enforcement directorates, namely the HIS and ERO which include several support divisions.
, Ultimately the ICE director reports directly to the Secretary of Homeland Security who then
reports directly to the President of the United States. Any faults or shortfalls in information
sharing within the agency down its chain of command could result in the oversight of its
responsibilities, presenting a risk to national security.
Organizational Structures
FEMA is a federal agency that falls under the DHS’s vast umbrella. Its headquarters is in
Washington, D.C., where the Office of the Administrator and other program officers are
stationed. The FEMA administrator reports directly to the DHS secretary. The FEMA
administrator also has a direct line of access to communicate President of the United States
during periods of disaster response ("FEMA Organization", n.d.). FEMA’s command is
delegated through 10 regional offices that cover specific states, territories, and tribes, field
offices that manage disaster response and recovery in disaster locations, and various warehouses
and staging areas throughout the country ("FEMA Organization", n.d.). To complete their
mission, FEMA must coordinate with local and state governments and agencies as well as
military and civil defense authorities.
Like FEMA, ICE is a federal agency that falls under the DHS ICE delegates its
responsibility to five directorates: enforcement and removal operations, homeland security
investigations, management and administration, principal legal advisor, and the professional
responsibility directorate ("ICE Organizational Structure", 2021). Each of these directorates is
overseen by the Director of ICE who then reports to the Secretary of Homeland Security. ICE is
closely supported in its duties by the US Border Patrol.
Critical Infrastructure Sector
The Federal Emergency Management Agency works to protect the Emergency Services
Sector. The sector-specific agency for the Emergency Services Sector is the Department of
Homeland Security specifically, the infrastructure security division ("Emergency Services Sector
