What is the SRG C-IED?
DHS and FBI developed the SRG C-IED, a consolidated reference guide of IED incident preparedness information for stakeholders, including:
An overview of IED threats and consequences
C-IED concepts and a set of common C-IED goals and objectives
Guidance for IED preparedness planning
Links to Federal Government C-IED tools and resources
Annexes for high-risk stadiums, entertainment venues, outdoor events, and hotel/lodging facilities
The SRG C-IED is intended for stakeholders who can play a role in countering IEDs, including:
State, local, tribal, and territorial governments
Law enforcement
Private sector organizations
Facility owners/operators
Fire/EMS services
Emergency management
The SRG C-IED provides several benefits:
Distill IED and C-IED concepts into actionable information
“Raise all boats” to help stakeholders play a role in IED security/resilience
Enhance nationwide planning and preparedness for IED incidents

Common C-IED Goals
The SRG C-IED introduces 10 C-IED goals that stakeholders can review, analyze, and consider for implementation in order to reduce the overall risk posed by IED threats. #
Goal 1
Use and share information to inform IED-related physical security, law enforcement, and emergency response activities. 2
Identify and report IED-related suspicious activity. 3
Prevent the acquisition of explosives and explosive precursor chemicals for use in IEDs. 4
Implement site-specific protective measures to prevent and minimize the impact of IED incidents. 5
Utilize IED screening and detection measures in high-risk environments. 6
Take immediate safety precautions for bomb threats, suspicious items, and IEDs. 7
Safely coordinate response activities at the IED incident site. 8
Request Public Safety Bomb Squad assets to diagnose suspicious items and render-safe IEDs. 9
Provide IED-specific emergency medical response. 10
Reduce the psychological and economic impacts of IED incidents.

SRG C-IED Planning Process and Resources
The SRG C-IED walks through C-IED preparedness planning process and aligns supporting resources with each C-IED goal.
Planning Process
Resources
Example Resource Alignment
6-Step Process
Goal 1: Use information to inform IED-related physical security, law enforcement, and emergency response activities.
Resources:
TRIPwire
Fusion Centers
Stakeholder lists for planning that reflect the
C-IED goals
Goal 2: Identify and report IED-related suspicious activity.
Resources:
National Suspicious Activity Reporting Imitative (NSI)
If You See Something, Say Something™
Goal 3: Prevent the acquisition of explosives and explosive precursor chemicals for use in IEDs.
Resources:
Bomb-Making Materials Awareness Program (BMAP)
HME Recognition Guide

Use Cases for the SRG C-IED
The SRG C-IED focuses on planning, but it can be used by many stakeholders to increase their understanding of IED threats, risk management options, planning guidance, and how to get resources to improve their capabilities.
Examples:
State and Local governments plan for emergencies and assess threats and hazards
Facility managers develop security strategies and implement screening measures
Emergency managers develop IED annexes to Emergency Operations Plans (EOPs)
Businesses educate employees about explosive precursor chemicals
Public health administrators prepare for IED-incident medical response
Public safety personnel develop strategies to enhance IED prevention, protection, and response
