Homeland Security Presidential Directive (HSPD)

Homeland Security Presidential Directive (HSPD) is an official order from the President that directs how the U.S. government protects the nation from threats such as terrorism, natural disasters, and other emergencies. It sets guidelines for coordination and cooperation among federal, state, local, tribal, and private sector entities to ensure a unified and efficient response. Essentially, HSPD helps create a structured approach to safeguard the country by establishing policies and procedures for security efforts across various agencies and jurisdictions.
