Is your company
a CISA Identified
Essential Business?
Employers are concerned about their employees being stopped by law enforcement for violating Stay-at-Home Orders.
In response, the US Dept. of Homeland Security’s Cybersecurity & Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) has released an “Essential Worker Placard” that may be carried by employees of CISA-identified essential businesses.
