If fire and EMS departments are updating their planning for responding to incidents involving protests and acts of civil unrest, the IAFC has links to resources to help:
- Fire Service Quick Incident Response Workbook for Civil Unrest and Disturbance (Members Only)
- Best Practices for EMS and Fire Response to Incidents During Civil Unrest
- Violent Extremists Threat Environment Considerations for the Public Safety Community
IAFC members also may find useful recommendations in this guide that the IAFC developed for the 2024 election. In addition, the USFA has some resources regarding arson and mitigating dangers to fire and EMS personnel that may be helpful.
