Governor Perry just released his five year Homeland Security Strategic Plan for the state of Texas which will serve as a high level road map to improve homeland security capabilities across all disciplines and jurisdictions in Texas.

The second of the Governor’s three goals is to reduce the vulnerability of the state’s Critical Infrastructure and Key Resources from all hazards. Texas is home to several Critical Infrastructures and Key Resources which are vital to our national security, public safety, public health, and economy. In order for the state to reduce the vulnerability of our Critical Infrastructures and Key Resources they are seeking the advice from experts such as Dr. Pearce.

Dr. Pearce was chosen for his expertise in the Drinking Water Industry. Drinking Water is one of our most Critical Infrastructures and Key Resources. Dr. Pearce has managed and directed Nova Biologicals, Inc. to its current status as one of America’s largest independent drinking water laboratories and service companies and leader in specialty microbiological evaluation, testing, and related remediation planning. Most recently Nova was featured in Security Director News for its work with the City of Conroe in implementing a state-of-the-art security program for Conroe’s Plant 5.

Dr. Pearce is a 2005 Graduate of the FBI’s Private Citizen’s Academy and Program Director for the FBI’s InfraGard Drinking Water Security Program in Washington D.C. Dr. Pearce is currently involved in providing scientifically valid and appropriate responses to emerging issues related to the Safe Drinking Water Act as amended by Title IV of the Bioterrorism Act of 2002. His special interest is protecting our dinking water through a multiple barrier, advanced monitoring, reactive communications center for public water systems.
