Our top focus – protecting our Nation – must go beyond homeland preparedness; America will only be secure if we deal with threats before they happen, not just after they happen.
Our state’s public health department is responsible for overseeing a large array of healthcare needs, including natural disasters, chronic diseases, and emerging threats. And in these efforts, we want to ensure that no one in Connecticut is left behind when it comes to access to essential care.

Advertising – a judicious mixture of flattery and threats.
Besides the conventional military threats, North Korean cyber capabilities are growing.

One thing I’ve learned about death threats is that they’re great, actually. You should actually be grateful for death threats because those who are taking the time to threaten you that way are getting it out of their system. That’s really what they rant to do, yell at you, and they want to threaten you.
Don’t react with fear and panic in the face of debt collector threats. Talk to them and explain your situation. See if you can work out a compromise.

Strong health and disease surveillance systems halt epidemics that take lives, disrupt economies, and pose global health security threats.

We are monitoring very closely threats against the pope as he comes in to the United States.
Since taking office, President Obama has worked to restore a positive vision of American leadership in the world – leadership defined, not by the threats and dangers that we will oppose, but by the security, opportunity and dignity that America advances in partnership with people around the world.
In a time of global uncertainty, rising terrorism, and enormous threats to peace, it’s right that we as a country should now seek to extend our diplomatic footprint overseas.

We probably haven’t seen the variety and diversity of threats to Americans’ safety and well-being and our national security in a long, long time. Some have said it almost makes you yearn for the Cold War days when you knew who the bad guys were and who the good guys were, and there was a wall dividing us.
Devastation could arise insidiously, rather than suddenly, through unsustainable pressure on energy supplies, food, water and other natural resources. Indeed, these pressures are the prime ‘threats without enemies’ that confront us.
Criminal and terrorist threats are morphing beyond traditional actors and tactics. We still have to worry about things like an al-Qaida cell plotting a large-scale attack, but we also now have to worry increasingly about homegrown violent extremists radicalizing in the shadows.
Under Obama, we have seen the U.S. military – the most exceptional force for peace in the world – degraded, downsized, decimated and demeaned, resulting in massive international instability and potential threats to our homeland.
