It of course pays to be vigilant and I would assume that most of the members and affiliates of The Fertilizer Institute take very good precautions. Even so, TFI felt compelled to issue this alert to members today.

In light of the recent discovery of a potentially viable explosive device in London, England, The Fertilizer Institute (TFI) wants to remind you to continue to be vigilant in the protection of your fertilizer products as you prepare for the Independence Day holiday. This morning, TFI participated in a conference call with the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) regarding the London incident. At this time, DHS has not raised the threat level in the United States.

TFI encourages you to report any suspicious activities to the appropriate law enforcement officials. Incidents can also be reported to the National Infrastructure Coordinating Council (NICC) at (202) 282-9201 or via email at nicc@dhs.gov.
