Chapter V V-16 JP 3-28 operational area through the creation of critical emergency telecommunication networks or other critical infrastructure, including the security and defense of these infrastructures. Per PPD-41, US Cyber Incident Coordination Policy, DHS has the primary responsibility for protecting all non-DOD USG information systems and coordinating the whole of government response to significant cyberspace incidents affecting non-USG information systems. This response is part of the NRF and is set forth in the National Cyber Incident Response Plan. For more information on military support in cyberspace, see JP 3-12, Cyberspace Operations, and DTM 17-007, Interim Policy and Guidance for Defense Support to Cyber Incident Response. 10. Space Operations Support Space support during DSCA operations is primarily focused upon saving lives, preventing suffering, and mitigating damage. Space-related products supporting these missions will be heavily concentrated on imagery, overhead persistent infrared, satellite communications, environmental monitoring, and SAR, as well as positioning, navigation, and timing. For more information, see JP 3-14, Space Operations. 11. Other Support and Sustainment Considerations a. International Support (1) Guidance on carrying out responsibilities for international coordination in support of the USG’s response to a domestic incident with an international component is provided by the International Coordination Support Annex of the NRF. Policies and procedures outlined in this annex are elaborated in the International Assistance System (IAS) CONOPS, a document jointly prepared by DHS, DOS, and USAID in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina. The IAS CONOPS establishes the policies and standard operating procedures to manage the flow of international resources in the US, under the NRF, for a presidentially declared major disaster as described under the Stafford Act. (2) Since the USG is usually in a position to be able to fulfill its disaster response needs domestically, the USG typically will not find it necessary to activate the IAS. Therefore, the IAS will not be automatically activated for every large domestic disaster. Exceptions may include particularly large or simultaneous disasters, for which very specific commodities or technical assistance might be requested and for which a foreign partner can provide needed goods in a timely manner. (3) When activated, the IAS applies to the three primary IAS entities (FEMA, DOS, and USAID), as well as other federal departments and agencies that may be requested to provide assistance in expediting the flow of international resources during a domestic disaster declared under the Stafford Act (Customs and Border Protection, DOD, Department of Health and Human Services, USDA, and others). The IAS also applies to FEMA mission-assigned agencies that may request assistance through the IAS to obtain
