As set forth in both Homeland Security Presidential Directive 7 (HSPD-7) and the National Infrastructure Protection Plan (SSP), each Sector-Specific Agency (SSA) is required to provide the Secretary of Homeland Security a Sector Annual Report (SAR). To meet this requirement, the SSA works closely with members from both the Healthcare Sector Coordinating Council (SCC) and the Government Coordinating Council (GCC) during the SAR development process. The process is built upon an outline provided by the Department of Homeland Security to help ensure consistency between all 18 sectors.
