Department of Homeland Security, Buffer Zone Protection Program (BZPP) 2
Department of Homeland Security, Buffer Zone Protection Program (BZPP) 2 : The BZPP assists responsible jurisdictions in building effective prevention and protection capabilities that will make it more difficult for terrorists to conduct site surveillance or launch attacks within the immediate vicinity of selected CI/KR assets. These capabilities are enumerated in Buffer Zone Plans (BZPs) that: (1) Identify significant assets at the site(s) that may be targeted by terrorists for attack. (2) Identify specific threats and vulnerabilities associated with the site(s) and its significant assets. (3) Develop an appropriate buffer zone extending outward from the facility in which preventive and protective measures can be employed to make it more difficult for terrorists to conduct site surveillance or launch attacks. (4) Identify all applicable law enforcement jurisdictions and other Federal, State, and local agencies having a role in the prevention of, protection against, and response to terrorist threats or attacks specific to the CI/KR site(s) and appropriate points of contact within these organizations. (5) Evaluate the capabilities of the responsible jurisdictions with respect to terrorism prevention and response. (6) Identify specific planning, equipment, training, and/or exercise requirements to better enable responsible jurisdictions to mitigate threats and vulnerabilities of the site(s) and its buffer zone.
