USFA Critical Infrastructure Protection Guide Now Available

A new document that provides a comprehensive guide for all fire and emergency services is now available. Prepared by the Emergency Management and Response-Information Sharing and Analysis Center (EMR-ISAC) to promote critical infrastructure protection, the Fire and Emergency Services Preparedness Guide for the Homeland Security Advisory System offers suggestions for activities that may be appropriate for the five Homeland Security Advisory System (HSAS) Levels.

Within this guide, the emergency response leadership will find recommended preparedness measures for each HSAS Threat Condition. Therefore, the contents of the document should assist the heads of the fire and emergency medical services with the development and implementation of appropriate department or agency-specific preparedness measures.
