The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) along with FEMA and CISA has released a resource guide called “Planning Considerations for Cyber Incidents: Guidance for Emergency Managers.” This guide serves as a roadmap for emergency managers across the nation to effectively plan and respond to cyber incidents.
It combines the expertise of CISA in cybersecurity with FEMA’s emergency management experience, providing communities with the latest information and resources to prepare for, protect against, and respond to cyber incidents.
The guide emphasizes the importance of teamwork and collaboration between DHS and its state, local, tribal, and territorial partners to strengthen critical infrastructure and enhance community resilience.
It highlights the need for both a strong cybersecurity program and a cyber incident response plan to mitigate the impact of cyber threats and ensure a swift and efficient response.
The guide is not limited to government emergency managers but also provides valuable insights to emergency managers in academia, nonprofits, and the private sector.
FEMA and CISA will host webinars to provide an overview of the guide and supporting materials, which can be downloaded from FEMA’s website.
Overall, this resource guide aims to support emergency managers in navigating and mitigating the consequences of cyber incidents.
