Project – Intelligence Sources Location Tool
Akey element in effectively resolving a terrorist or active shooter event is to have situational awareness that reduces the
perpetrators’ element of surprise. The National Counterterrorism Center (NCTC) and Joint Counterterrorism Assessment
Team (JCAT) provide nationaL-level intelligence products for emergency managers and first responders to provide that
situational awareness. A number of these were discussed in your reading assignment as well as in your study quide. If
properly utilized, these documents provide an element of protection and prevention by intelligence and information sharing.
Although a number of these unclassified and classified federal tools are disseminated ta state and local jurisdictions, many
jurisdictions are not aware of them, and they ate often not utilized.
Develop a written tool for your emergency management department that identifies how and where to gather intelligence information resources that are available to your organization for how to report suspicious activity. Be sure to start your tool
with a definition of what your organization is, where itis located, and anything that makes your situation unique. If you are
hot currently in such an organization, pick an organization with which you are farniliar. The tool should allow an emergency
manager and first responders to quickly locate each of the intelligence documents readily available to him or her within the
organization and how they benefit situational awareness
