ENHANCED SECURITY
WaterISAC's unique position as the central clearinghouse for threats to the water sector provides utilities with added security. It is the one common link in the flow of information about water security to and from utilities, federal homeland security, intelligence, law enforcement, public health and environmental agencies.

QUICK ALERT NOTIFICATIONS - 24/7
All government and WaterISAC alerts about potential or real threats to the nation's water sector are quickly disseminated to WaterISAC subscribers around the clock. WaterISAC is the designated intelligence dissemination arm of the U.S. Department of Homeland Security-sponsored Water Sector Coordinating Council.

EXPERT WATER SECTOR SPECIFIC ANALYSIS
Beyond gathering and distributing secure, time-sensitive information, WaterISAC also provides immediate expert analysis of threats to the nation's water systems and identifies trends. Raw information about security threats distributed by law enforcement and government agencies often fails to provide comprehensive details about how a threat may impact a drinking water or wastewater system. The WaterISAC's analysts are experts at intelligence collection. They rapidly produce valuable assessments of how a threat may specifically impact the water community, identify trends and suggest mitigating actions.

UNRIVALED INFORMATION AND RESEARCH SOURCE
The WaterISAC library, containing over 3,000 documents, includes a robust search capability, and offers subscribers a comprehensive collection of information about vulnerabilities, emergency response, training opportunities, security solutions, research and government policy. Subscribers can rapidly study chemicals and potential contaminants, review past and current threat information, utilize vulnerability assessment tools and explore security solutions.
