Infrastructure Protection course.(PRODUCT spotlight)

The Introduction to the National Infrastructure Protection Plan (NIPP) is a Web-based course developed jointly by the Department of Homeland Security's Office of Infrastructure Protection and the Federal Emergency Management Agency's Emergency Management Institute. It meets the training needs of a wide range of government and private-sector security partners involved in implementing infrastructure protection programs and provides an overview of many of the key concepts of the NIPP, including the risk-management framework, the partnership model designed to facilitate coordination and cooperation between infrastructure owners/operators and the government, the networked approach to information sharing, and the new risk-based approach to resource allocation. It describes the 17 sector-specific plans that address the particular needs of each sector, including healthcare.
