ADVISORY MEMORANDUM ON IDENTIFICATION OF ESSENTIAL CRITICAL
INFRASTRUCTURE WORKERS DURING COVID-19 RESPONSE
FROM: Christopher
C. Krebs
Director
Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA)

As the
Nation comes together to slow the spread of COVID-19, on March 16th the
President issued updated
Coronavirus Guidance for America that highlighted the importance of the
critical infrastructure workforce.

The Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency
(CISA) executes the Secretary of Homeland Security's authorities to secure
critical infrastructure. Consistent with these authorities, CISA has developed,
in collaboration with other federal agencies, State and local governments, and
the private sector, an "Essential Critical Infrastructure Workforce"
advisory list. This list is intendedto help State, local, tribal and
tenitorialofficials as they work to protect their communities, while ensuring
continuity of functions critical to public health and safety, as well as
economic and national security. Decisions informed by this list should also
take into consideration additional public health considerations based on the
specific COVID-19-related concerns of particular jurisdictions.
This list is advisory in nature. It is not, nor should
it be considered, a federal directive or standard. Additionally, this advisory
list is not intended to be the exclusive list of critical infrastructure
sectors, workers, and functions that should continue during the COVID-19
response across all jurisdictions. Individual jurisdictions should add or subtract
essential workforce categories based on their own requirements and discretion.
The advisorylist identifies workers who conduct a
range of operations and services that are typically essential to continued
critical infrastructure viability, including staffing operations centers,
maintaining and repairing critical infrastructure, operating call centers,
working construction, and performing operational functions, among others. It
also includes workers who support crucial supply chains and enable functions
for critical infrastructure. The industries they support represent, but are not
limited to, medical and healthcare, telecommunications, information technology
systems, defense, food and agriculture, transportation and logistics, energy,
water and wastewater, law enforcement, and public works.
State, local, tribal, and territorial governments are
responsible for implementing and executing response activities, including
decisions about access and reentry, in their communities, while the Federal
Government is in a supporting role. Officials should use their own judgment in
issuing implementation directives and guidance. Similarly, while adhering to
relevant public health guidance, critical infrastructure owners and operators
are expected to use their own judgement on issues of the prioritization of
business processes and workforce allocation to best ensure continuity of the
essential goods and services they support. All decisions should appropriately
balance public safety, the health and safety of the workforce, and the
continued delivery of essential critical infrastructure services and functions.
While this advisory list is meant to help public officials and employers
identify essential work functions, it allows for the reality that some workers
engaged in activity determined to be essential may be unable to perform those
functions because of health-related concerns.
CISA will continue to work with our partners in the
critical infrastructure community to update this advisory list if necessary as
the Nation's response to COVID-19 evolves.
Should you have questions about this list, please contact
CISA at CISA.CAT@cisa.dhs.gov.

Essential Critical Infrastructure Workforce: Ensuring Community and National
Resilience in COVID-19 Response Version 2.0"

Crltlcal Infrastructure Workforce:
Ensurlng Communlty and
Natlonal Reslllence In COVID-19 Response
Version 2.0 (March 28, 2020)
THE IMPORTANCE OF ESSENTIAL CRITICAL
INFRASTRUCTURE WORKERS
Functioning critical infrastructure is
imperative during the response to the COVID-19 emergency for both public health
and safety as well as community well-being. Certain critical infrastructure
industries have a special responsibility in these times to continue operations.
This advisory
guidance and accompanying list are intended to support state, local, tribal,
territorial and industry partners in identifying the critical infrastructure
sectors and the essential workers needed to maintain the services and functions
Americans depend on daily and that need to be able to operate resiliently
during the COVID-19 pandemic response.
This document gives advisory guidance on
defining essential critical infrastructure workers. Promoting the ability of
such workers to continue to work during periods of community restriction,
access management, social distancing, or closure orders/directives is crucial
to community resilience and continuity of essential functions.
CISA will continually
solicit and accept feedback on the list and will evolve the list in response to
stakeholder feedback. We will also use our various stakeholder engagement
mechanisms to work with partners on how they are using this list and share those
lessons learned and best practices broadly. Feedback can be sent to CISA.CAT@CISA.DHS.GOV.
CONSIDERATIONS FOR GOVERNMENT AND BUSINESS
This list was developed in consultation with federal
agency partners, industry experts, and State and local officials, and is based
on several key principles:
1. Response
efforts to the COVID-19 pandemic are locally executed, state managed, and
federally supported.
2. Everyone
should follow guidance from the CDC, as well as State and local government
officials, regarding strategies to limit disease spread.
3. Workers
should be encouraged to work remotely when possible and focus on core business
activities. lnperson, non-mandatory activities should be delayed until the
resumption of normal operations.
4. When
continuous remote work is not possible, businesses should enlist strategies to
reduce the likelihood of spreading the disease. This includes, but is not
necessarily limited to, separating staff by off-setting shift hours or days
and/or social distancing. These steps can preserve the workforce and allow
operations to continue.
5. All
organizations should implement their business continuity and pandemic plans or
put plans in place if they do not exist. Delaying implementation is not advised
and puts at risk the viability of the business and the
health and safety of the employees.
6. Reliance
on technology and just-in-time supply chains means that certain workers must be
able to access certain sites, facilities, and assets to ensure continuity of
functions.
7. Government
employees, such as emergency managers, and the business community need to
establish and maintain lines ofcommunication.
8.
When government and businesses engage in discussions about essential critical infrastructure workers,they need to consider the implications of business operations beyond the jurisdiction where the asset or facility is located. Businesses can have sizeable economic and societal impacts as well as supply chain dependencies that are geographicallydistributed.
When government and businesses engage in discussions about essential critical infrastructure workers,they need to consider the implications of business operations beyond the jurisdiction where the asset or facility is located. Businesses can have sizeable economic and societal impacts as well as supply chain dependencies that are geographicallydistributed.
9. Whenever
possible, jurisdictions should align access and movement control policies
related to critical infrastructure workers to lower the burden of workers
crossing jurisdictional boundaries.
