Safe buildings research develops better
methods, technologies and guidance for
building decontamination, focusing on
biological and chemical agents that
might be used in a terrorist attack on
buildings.

Water security research provides technical
support to strengthen water systems against
terrorist attacks through early detection,
implementation of corrective actions, and
decontamination to restore clean and safe
water supplies.
