The National Intelligence Council (NIC) was formed in 1979 and is the centre for midterm and long-term strategic thinking within the United States Intelligence Community (IC). In November 2008, the NIC warned world leaders that a Global Pandemic would hit the planet before 2025:
“Other pathogens – such as the SARS coronavirus or other influenza strains – also have this potential. (…) Outside the US, critical infrastructure degradation and economic loss on a global scale would result as approximately a third of the worldwide population became ill and hundreds of millions died.” [1]

- It leads the IC's effort to produce National Intelligence Estimates and other documents;
- It supports (and reports to) the Director of National Intelligence;
- It serves as a focal point for policymakers' questions;
- It contributes to the effort to allocate IC resources in response to policy changes; and
- It communicates with experts in academia and the private sector to broaden the IC's perspective.[2]
