ASIS urges members to take a free online course on the National Infrastructure Protection Plan (NIPP). Developed by DHS and FEMA, the course is offered with options for those who want to take it for credit or review the information on an informal basis. Those completing the course for credit must take a final exam and will receive a certificate from DHS. Access the EMI Independent Study site or email Tom Marlowe.
