Exhibit A3-3 presents examples of key homeland defense, homeland security, and public safety
centers that have been established to share critical and sensitive information to protect the
Nation, and to provide proper levels of command and control over field forces that could be
brought to bear for incidents that require Federal assistance. These centers coordinate
information, provide support to Federal, State, local, and tribal agencies engaged in response or
recovery activities, and ensure that affected parties receive critical or sensitive information in a
timely manner.
