Critical Infrastructure Partnership Advisory Council

The Department of Homeland Security has established the Critical Infrastructure Partnership Advisory Council (CIPAC) to facilitate effective coordination between federal infrastructure protection programs with the infrastructure protection activities of the private sector and of state, local, territorial and tribal governments.  

The CIPAC represents a partnership between government and critical infrastructure/key resource (CIKR) owners and operators and provides a forum in which they can engage in a broad spectrum of activities to support and coordinate critical infrastructure protection.

Council Membership

CIPAC membership will encompass CIKR owner/operator institutions and their designated trade or equivalent organizations that are identified as members of existing Sector Coordinating Councils (SCCs).  It also includes representatives from federal, state, local and tribal governmental entities identified as members of existing Government Coordinating Councils (GCCs) for each sector.
