Incident Response Case Study

Incident command system is system that control and coordinate the response to an incident, and it designed to make the incident management effective and efficient. And it based on a number of important principles, and I am going to talk about the way that it can be effective in an incident response either individually or collectively. And I I am going to talk about three of them, I will start with

This study investigated the accounts of individuals involved in the London underground bombings in 2005. Throughout this investigation, thematic analysis was conducted on six eyewitness accounts, highlighting their feelings and actions, which came about as a result of the incident. From these accounts I obtained 4 key themes, which were consistent components of the six accounts. Evidently, I found that the two most common themes were ‘helping behaviour’ and the ‘panic’ myth. This was rather unexpected, as initially, I expected to find irrational and helpless behaviour, due to the panic and stress of being trapped in a bombed underground. To conclude, the investigation illuminated the concept of helping others before helping ones self. Thus, contradicting the concept of survival of the fittest, as in this case the ‘fittest’ were those who took it upon themselves to assist other passengers in need. Therefore, highlighting the power of empathy which was risen with experiencing the disaster.

The capabilities are ranked as they are pursuant to priorities in preserving human life. Thus, attending to critical conditions are prioritized before non-critical conditions. Also, immediate response capabilities are prioritized over those capabilities pertaining to issues not requiring an immediate response. Identified and located victims are a priority over lost or missing persons, and both are priorities over casualties.

Electronic evidence is very fragile because it can be destroyed or altered very easily, therefore it is imperative that investigators follow very careful all the procedural steps when collecting electronic evidence (Diversified Forensics). Before any electronic evidence is gathered investigators should determine whether there is probable cause that a crime has been committed, or if the crime was committed somewhere else the investigator should determine whether the electronic evidence will aid the investigation process to prove or disapprove the crime, if a warrant is needed it must be obtained prior to collecting the evidence (Diversified Forensics). Hard drives, computers, and other electronic devices must be turned off, unplug all cables,

On 02/04/2017 at 1244 hours, I COII Benally badge #11837, responded to an Incident Command System in Dorm 2 F-pod initiated by COII Brown badge #1305 due to a green leafy-like substance found on inmate Pierre ADC #182318 during a random pat search. At the time I arrived, I observed COII Brown and COII Zamarron badge #11855 giving verbal directives to inmate Pierre to hand over the substance and inmate Pierre refused directives while walking away from staff towards the restroom area in F-pod and continued to refuse directives given by staff to submit to mechanical restraints. Inmate Pierre then walked over to the toilet in the corner and attempt to flush the substance, COII Brown and COII Zamarron grabbed inmate Pierre by the shoulders in attempt

The National Response Framework also known as NRF was built off of the National Incident Management System. The NRF plan was finalized and in action in January of 2005, right after Hurricane Katrina. NRF is an organization that is used prepare and respond to emergencies and terrorist attacks, they also help respond to disasters that happen all over the world, they help make sure that people get what they need in emergencies and they make sure that any medical care that is need in time of a disaster is provided.

Both the national response framework and National Incident Management system are plans set in place to provide a response to domestic incidents and both are overseen by the Federal Emergency Agency. While they are both similar they do have distinguishing characteristics (Haddow, G., Bullock, J, & Coppola, D. 2014). The National Response Framework incorporates a formal plan that involves both local, state, federal, and non-government agencies that works seamlessly together to provide a response that if followed properly can be proven to have a successful ending to an emergency situation. The most important concept behind the National Response Framework is that Federal Government does not supersede local government and combines the government

First, Incident Response (IR) plan “is a detailed set of processes and procedures that anticipate, detect, and mitigate the effects of an unexpected event that might compromise information resources and assets.” (Whitman, 2013, p. 85). Consequently, Incident response planning (IRP) is the planning for an incident, which occurs when an attack affects information systems causing disruptions. On the other hand, Disaster Recovery (DR) plan “entails the preparation for and recovery from a disaster, whether natural or human-made.” (Whitman, 2013, p. 97). For instance, events categorized as disasters include fire, flood, storm or earthquake. Thus, the differences between an Incident Response (IR) plan and a Disaster Recovery (DR)

During the month of November, the following officers completed their annual Incident Management Assist Team (IMAT) training requirements to be active members of Division 10’s IMAT Team. Chief Don Gay, ISO (Incident Safety Officer), SSO (Safety Section Officer), PLANS (Plans Chief), Rehab Officer and Staging Officer. Captain Dave Rapp, ISO, SSO, RITO (Rapid Intervention Team Officer), Rehab and Staging. Lieutenant Brian Sible, ISO and SSO. Lieutenant Tom Bensfield, ISO, SSO and RITO.

When an incident occurs within the United States, the Incident Command System (ICS) is brought into action. The ICS process serves as a management system designed to provide an effective incident management structure by way of combining facilities, personnel, equipment, operating procedures, communications and operational standards. The ICS is not a flawless system, however its flexible design allows for adaptation and change. During Hurricane Sandy, the ICS was implemented with mixed results. More than 28,000 personnel were utilized for the response and recovery efforts from that hurricane. It was the Incident Command System that served as coordinating guidance for facilitating the organizational structure for the hurricane Sandy response

Forensic readiness is a decade old concept that many organizations have taken steps to address and implement. It involves taking steps of preparation in anticipation of a particular type of incident. This includes ensuring adequate logging for monitoring, detection, post-mortem investigation, and event reconstruction. Forensic readiness ensures that adequate staff, training, tools, and external support are all in place in advance. Forensic readiness is becoming a crucial part of risk management, and good incident preparedness helps to increase efficiency, reduce the costs of incident response, and help organizations prioritize resources (Nikkel, 2014).

On February 16 upon entering a room to assist with a transfer, I quickly check in on my post operation patient who was previously stable, I noticed their health status had rapidly changed. Moreover, my patient was found sitting in a very ridged positon looking pale, sweating, appearing anxious and in distress with a clenched jaw and intensely vibrating left leg. At this time, I was currently with my instructor and we immediate began to assess and comfort the patient. Our assessment found an increased blood pressure and heart rate and the patient reported numbness and twitching in their left leg. Subsequently, the patient

The client is known for taking these types of incidents to court for prosecution to the full extent of the law, so it is imperative that the investigation follows all procedures for documentation, digital evidence collection, and digital evidence storage required to ensure admissibility in court. Furthermore, XYZ, Inc. has been given four tasks that must be completed to ensure a clear and concise plan has been developed. This plan would then be implemented for utilization into the

Why is it a good idea to include human resources on the incident response management team?

In addition to knowing what happened, there is a need to know who is responsible [49]. Every investigator should ask six key questions during an investigation: what, why, how, who, where and when [42, 50]. The what is determined by the data attributes or metadata; why refers to the motivation; how is the procedure followed to initiate the incident or isolate the necessary evidence; who are the people involved; where refers to the location and when refers to time. The following paragraphs give some clarification on some of the questions, however not all will be discussed. Finding the person who performed an alleged action is vital when trying to lay blame for an action on a computer. As soon as the person has been identified, a much faster avenue is opened to finding the rest of the pieces of evidence. An interview can be conducted to ask pressing questions about motive [8]. In a civil claim the claimant and respondent or other legal persona might be important. An aspect to be considered here is that the investigator must never be suspected of fabricating the evidence and the person it can be attributed to as being the
