Guidelines and Courses
On September 13, 2007, the US Dept of Homeland Security released the National Preparedness Guidelines and Target Capabilities List. The guidelines can be downloaded here (pdf). Important: The US Dept of Homeland Security has asked ASIS to notify its members regarding the Federal Government Guide to Pandemic Planning (pdf) for businesses and other organizations. Do you know where you and your employer fit in U.S. plans for protecting critical infrastructures? ASIS urges members to take a free online course on the National Infrastructure Protection Plan (NIPP). Developed by DHS and FEMA, the course is offered with options for those who want to take it for credit or review the information on an informal basis. Those completing the course for credit must take a final exam and will receive a certificate from DHS. Access the EMI Independent Study site or email Tom Marlowe.
