Incident Operational Period

Our company’s Continuity Management Program (CMP) dictates that the business adheres to an annual testing program. The program does utilize the guidelines from the Homeland Security Exercise and Evaluation Program (HSEEP). The Continuity Management team has written and scripted into our process to incorporate our Tabletop Exercise’s (TTX’s). Our annual process is to test each of our business units for resiliency. TTX’s allows for us to open up discussions and dialogues focusing on many different areas in the event we need to declare. Also, the exercises aid in discovering any gaps and working through each tier of the recovery process. Our business lines have Recovery Time Objectives (RTO’s) starting at 1 hour up to 72 hours. During the TTX’s we cover the business impact analysis (BIA’s ) and each of the RTO’s.

As discussed, following are the activities scheduled for 10 & 12th OCT’16, for which operational interruption is anticipated for execution.

M3 - discuss health, safety or security concerns arising from a specific incident or emergency in a health or social care setting.

The Incident Management Console provides the user interface to create, route, modify and gather statistics on all Incident Tickets. Incidents are those types of work requests that involve some kind of network outage. When the console is opened, the user is taken to a home page that is divided into two main sections. The smaller section on the left contains menu links to the various functions that can be performed within Incident Management. The majority of the screen is titled My Console and provides a pared-down but consolidated view of common Incident Management

Veteran Affairs National Office and Memphis Veteran Affairs Center (MVAMC) consider incident response as part of the definition, design, and development of mission/business processes and information systems. Incident-related to MVAMC Office Information Technology(OI&T) are obtained from a variety of sources including, but not limited to, audit monitoring, network monitoring, physical access monitoring, user/administrator reports, and reported supply chain events.

This guideline focuses heavily on what Emergency Management is all about, the Incident Command System. Basically what the Incident Command System helps with the incident chain of command. It helps organize who to go to, depending on where the first responder is

The risks that face an organization are going to always be present. However, an incident response plan outlines procedures for handling security incidents that occur within the organization and for correcting and documenting the security issue in a timely manner. The incident response team is trained to effectively implement the incident response plan. By containing an attack, and limiting the amount of time that an attack is allowed to continue, further risks to the organization can be mitigated.

Organisational safety management implies that disasters happen out of a complexity of intermingled reasons but not due to technical factors alone. Proper event management is a

Emergency services face vast difficulties in the operations field when handling emergency situations, whether it comes from handling a minor accident to a catastrophic catastrophy. Many of the difficulties do not come from the actual incident, but instead they arise from forming a rescue team containing different agencies and people. For the benefit off all individuals participating, it is imperative that there be a unified command structure in place to effectively coordinate and oversee the tasks that need to be accomplished. The need of a unified command was seen from the hardships faced in incidents, bringing forth the development of the Incident Command System that was designed to be used in an array of conditions, to bring all

Extraordinary deliberation will come into play with these important functioning reasons: What kind of neighboring agencies agreements are in place as well as geographical support and what is their task when this kind of events happen; How is the notification matrix formed which ensures that when events break out all the necessary parties are contacted; and who decides the proper urgent event response that parts to the NIMS conformity?

As the Disaster Coordinator for the city I am responsible for ensuring the public safety and welfare of the citizens within the city's jurisdiction. This requires me to have a full understanding on my role and responsibilities for managing disaster response and employing resources in order to save lives, protect property, the environment. Additionally I’m tasked to preserve the less tangible but equally important social, economic and political structures. My first reaction was to alert the regional Joint Terrorism Task Force to prepare them for possible activation. Next it is vital to gain situational awareness and develop a Common Operating Picture (COP). This COP is the who, what, where, when and how as it relates to the incident. Situational awareness starts at the incident site and includes continuous monitoring of reporting channels to gain

The intermediate plan must consist first of the dissemination of factual information to all stakeholders involved. The communication must also consist of discussion with building staff, supervisors, fire fighters and law enforcement as to the potential causes of the incident. This dialogue is important as the information garnered

Establishing the incident command system is first and foremost. The system establishes a common organizational structure that is conducive for different types of agencies as well as multiple jurisdictions to be able to effectively work together in response to the situation. The components of this system include the Incident Commander, who oversees all aspects of the disaster response, operations, planning, logistics and finance/administrative (Briggs & Twomey, 2003).

2. Situational Assessment. Once the Incident Commander arrives on the scene, s/he will need to assess the emergency quickly. Is there still a threat to the general population? Are the casualties identified or does Search & Rescue need to be mobilized? The IC needs to come up with a game plan to save lives, protect property and the environment, meet basic human needs, and stabilize the situation. 5

Incident response is critical to any organization and time is of the essence. The organization would use NIST 800-61incident handling guide and its’ four major phase approach as a template to handle all identified incidents. Once the alert for the event was triggered a member of the CIRT would respond and begin the initial steps of incident management; detection and identification.
