Webinar - Protecting Houses of Worship from Arson

2024 Arson Awareness Week is May 5-11 and the theme is “Protecting Houses of Worship – Fire as a Weapon.” The NVFC and USFA hosted a webinar to support this year’s theme with representatives from the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA). Briefings included a historical review of attacks on houses of worship using fire as the weapon; a threat and intelligence review of current threat actors, targets, and trends; and a discussion on preventing, protecting, mitigating, and response and recovery for arson events involving houses of worship. There was a question and answer period following the briefings.
