Chemical-terrorism Vulnerability (CVI) Information Procedures Manual

The Department of Homeland Security has officially posted on its website information about the CVI guidance manual. The site is http://www.dhs.gov/xprevprot/programs/gc_1169501486179.shtm  There have been many changes to the guidance since the last review and they all seem positive.  DHS has addressed the issue of sharing CVI information with State or local officials, clarified the meaning of "need to know", eliminated the possible use of CVI tracking numbers, and in general provided more detail on what is or is not CVI material.  This guide should clear up some of the confusion around CVI.
