IS-821: Critical Infrastructure and Key Resources Support Annex

Course Date

1/27/2009

Course Overview

The National Response Framework (NRF) presents the guiding principles that enable all response partners to prepare for and provide a unified national response to disasters and emergencies – from the smallest incident to the largest catastrophe. As part of the NRF, Support Annexes describe how Federal departments and agencies, the private sector, volunteer organizations, and nongovernmental organizations (NGOs) coordinate and execute the common support processes and administrative tasks required during an incident. The actions described in the Support Annexes are not limited to particular types of events, but are overarching in nature and applicable to nearly every type of incident. This course provides an introduction to the Critical Infrastructure and Key Resources (CIKR) Support Annex to the NRF.
