I gave up waiting for hard copies of NIFOG 2.0 to be available and ordered a print-on-demand copy for $14.95 from here. It's not ringbound or printed on Tyvek, but it's a decent value. Amazon.com: National Interoperability Field Operations Guide (NIFOG): Version 2.0 - Auguat 2021: 9798817189339: U.S. Department of Homeland Security, Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency: Books
I went this route too when I could not get enough copies through emergency response drills. amazon order on 7 October 2023, yielded hard copies at my door on 10 October 2023. But, not spiral bound and thin paper, but still very useful and able to be marked up, tabbed, and put into a cargo pants pocket, what was needed for myself and many others. This was for the March 2022 2.01 edition.

Yeah, the hard copies are nice, way better than I could do on a printer. I've had coffee spilled on mine and it is still in use.

There is also a NIFOG app for your phone. For that matter, there's an AUXCOMM version too. But sometimes dinking around with a phone is harder than just opening a book and reading what you need.

And sometimes it's way better to have a lot of useful reference material on a phone (or tablet, or computer, or....) than having to have to meet the physical logistics requirements of a full scale library. This is not to even mention the advantages of computerized search, document copying and sharing etc. So agreed, a full size paper document might be easier to read than a PDF on a tiny phone screen, but the rest of the advantages of the PDF outweigh it by far in my book (pun intended)! Then consider such PDFs can also be viewed on larger tablets or even monitors and well, there isn't much left of the case for paper. ;)

We were away for a while and my cat puked all over my copy. It took a while to clean it up. No damage, but I have to wonder if it always smelled as it does.

I gotta say, I think that falls under the heading of "Too Much Information." :)

For those with laser printers who are impatient, but want waterproof and rip-proof. May I humbly recommend...

<< THIS SYNTHETIC PAPER FROM AMAZON >>
