Welcome to the Northern Lights Coalition

InfraGard Minnesota Members Alliance in partnership the Department of Homeland Security, the National Security ForumSafeguard Iowa and others are working together to protect the critical infrastructure of Minnesota, Iowa, North Dakota, South Dakota and Nebraska.

This collaborative effort has three primary goals; 1) better understand the threat and potential impact of terrorism and other threats to critical infrastructure, 2) identify gaps and opportunities in information-sharing and emergency response, and 3) identify and implement long-term opportunities to reduce vulnerability, coordinate response, collaborate on preparedness and maximize limited resources. These goals support the National Infrastructure Protection Plan.
