The Emergency Management and Response-Information
Sharing and Analysis Center (EMR-ISAC)
disseminates Critical Infrastructure
Protection (CIP) "For Official
Use Only" (FOUO) Notices to the
validated leaders of the Emergency Services
Sector (ESS). The information originates
from the Department of Homeland Security
(DHS) and normally contains timely and
important FOUO information regarding
the threats to, vulnerabilities of,
and security best practices for ESS
departments and agencies. These CIP
(FOUO) Notices typically assist emergency
planning and operations for all hazards,
particularly terrorism.
The following ESS leaders are eligible
to receive CIP (FOUO) Notices through
the EMR-ISAC:
- Fire / EMS / HazMat Department Chief,
Deputy, Assistant, and Battalion Chief
- Fire / EMS / HazMat Director, Supervisor,
Shift Leader, and Crew Chief
- Fire / EMS / HazMat Department, Agency
Officer (other than the above)
- Police / Sheriff Department Chief,
Deputy, Assistant
- Police / Sheriff Department Officer

Municipal
- Fire Marshal / Code Enforcement Officer
- State, County, Municipal
- 9-1-1 Call Center Director, Supervisor,
Assistant
- Staff Member - DHS, FEMA, FBI, USSS,
ATF, TSA, and ICE
Individuals in the above qualifying
positions who are already receiving
this weekly INFOGRAM, but not the CIP
(FOUO) Notices, should contact the EMR-ISAC
as soon as possible at emr-isac@dhs.gov
or 301-447-1325.
CIP (FOUO) Notices are exclusively
for the vetted ESS leaders listed above.
The information should NOT be released
either in oral or written form to the
media, the general public, or other
personnel who do not have a valid "need
to know" without prior approval
from the EMR-ISAC. Additionally, all
printed FOUO information should be stored
in a locked container when not in use.
