Analyzing Information and Developing Intelligence:  To achieve optimum effectiveness the analyst must be extremely familiar with the disaster situation, response operations, and the Information Collection Plan.  Information should be compared against other sources to validate accuracy and to produce consistency in information.  Analysis sometimes requires inference when information does not yield clear-cut intelligence. Inference does not validate, however, it is a reasonable assumption based on analysis.   Inference will require additional information collection (usually from multiple sources).  Authentication of information is positive verification.  It is this verification that turn information into intelligence or information that can be reliably acted upon or used in decision making.

Daily Intelligence Summary (DISUM): The DISUM is intended to provide the Federal Coordninating Officer (FCO) and the Senior ERT Leadership a quick "snapshot" of the current situation.  This product is extremely time-sensitive due to the "volatility" of the information.  The situational aspect of the DISUM tends to become historical and statistical over the passage of time.  The DISUM is most effective early in an operational period when decisions are being made in a situational environment.
