EMR-ISAC Shuts Down: What Happens Now?

EMR-ISAC, the information-sharing hub that provided threat intelligence, indicators of compromise, and operational advisories to the emergency services sector, announced it will shut down effective June 1 due to funding and federal reorganization; its website was already offline. Stakeholders warn the closure creates a gap for fire, EMS, law enforcement, and emergency management—particularly for smaller agencies—and discuss possible replacements or funding models (private funding, joining other ISACs, or CISA stepping in) and the longer-term national security risks of reduced coordinated intelligence sharing.
