                Proclamation 8607 of November 30, 2010

                
Critical Infrastructure Protection Month, 2010

                By the President of the United States of America

                A Proclamation

                During Critical Infrastructure Protection Month, we 
                highlight the vast network of systems and structures 
                that sustain the vigor and vitality of our Nation. 
                Critical infrastructure includes the assets, networks, 
                and functions--both physical and virtual--essential to 
                the security, economic welfare, public health, and 
                safety of the United States.

                The Department of Homeland Security leads an 
                unprecedented national partnership dedicated to the 
                security and resilience of our critical infrastructure. 
                The National Infrastructure Protection Plan integrates 
                a multitude of diverse stakeholders--Federal, State, 
                local, territorial, and tribal governments; private 
                sector critical infrastructure owners and operators; 
                first responders; and the public--to identify and 
                protect our infrastructure from hazards or attack. 
                These critical infrastructure partnerships continue to 
                build their information-sharing capacity and develop 
                actions that strengthen our Nation's preparedness, 
                response capabilities, and recovery resources.

                My Administration is committed to delivering the 
                necessary information, tools, and resources to areas 
                where critical infrastructure exists in order to 
                maintain and enhance its security and resilience. I 
                have proposed a bold plan for renewing and expanding 
                our Nation's infrastructure, including its critical 
                infrastructure, in the coming years. Additionally, we 
                must work to empower communities, an integral part of 
                critical infrastructure security, to work with local 
                infrastructure owners and operators, which will make 
                our physical and cyber infrastructure more resilient. 
                Working together, we can raise awareness of the 
                important role our critical infrastructure plays in 
                sustaining the American way of life and develop actions 
                to protect these vital resources.

                NOW, THEREFORE, I, BARACK OBAMA, President of the 
                United States of America, by virtue of the authority 
                vested in me by the Constitution and the laws of the 
                United States, do hereby proclaim December 2010 as 
                Critical Infrastructure Protection Month. I call upon 
                the people of the United States to recognize the 
                importance of protecting our Nation's resources and to 
                observe this month with appropriate events and training 
                to enhance our national security and resilience.
