Remaining vigilant and taking proactive measures to secure critical infrastructure and public gathering locations requires implementing various security measures to mitigate potential threats. To assist our partners and stakeholders, CISA developed the De-escalation Action Guide, a resource that combines the existing De-escalation Series of fact sheets into a single easily accessible product. The Action Guide provides an overview of the primary strategies that may be taken to de-escalate a potentially violent situation.

Antisemitism manifests itself in different countries in different forms, which means a "one size fits all" approach is highly unlikely to be effective. To effectively combat antisemitism in
the aftermath of the 7 October attacks and the following war, policy makers should therefore consider following a risk-based approach. This would mean that the identified biggest risks for
Jews in their respective countries receive the most attention by
government actors. A risk-based approach can also mitigate the
unintended consequence of increasing the degree of polarization within societies. Narratives and perceptions of
governmental overreach related to issues of free speech, freedom of assembly, anti-war activism, and legitimate criticism of the Israeli government's policies are of concern here.
