... B-1 Welcome! Welcome to the Hazard and Security Plan Workshop Module One Use this slide to focus the projector before the class begins and leave this slide "on" while the students enter the classroom and go to their seats.
From page 40...
... It will be helpful for you to understand the need for a personal and family security plan as you complete the security plan for your organization.
From page 41...
... Prepared for Transit Cooperative Research Program TRANSPORTATION RESEARCH BOARD National Research Council NAS-NRC by AECOM Consult 2751 Prosperity Avenue, Suite 300 Fairfax, VA 22031 in association with Maier Consulting Peter Schauer Associates Module One The workshop materials were prepared under TCRP project number J-10D. The principals who played a role in developing the course are listed here.
From page 42...
... Become familiar with the terms and elements of hazard and security planning 3. Draft an HSP (hazard and security plan)
From page 43...
... Hazard and Security Plan: This template is for you to use to finish your plan. This document is your template.
From page 44...
... Emphasize that the success of the workshop depends on the participants actively participating, providing information where appropriate, and "making their own meaning." The student is ultimately responsible for "making meaning" and completing his or her own hazard and security plan. You, as the workshop leader, are responsible for the following: •Set timeframes and tasks clearly before the students.
From page 45...
... The best managers are slightly paranoid, but to prevent problems they take action…Take Action! Module One (Quickly review each item on the slide and emphasize that imagination is the key to completing a thorough HSP document.)
From page 46...
... The Hazard and Security Plan Module One Quickly review each item on the slide and emphasize that imagination is the key to completing a thorough HSP document.
From page 47...
... B-9 Plan Organization Outline Purpose and Scope of the Plan Who Does What? Detailed Solutions to Likely Issues Keeping the Plan Current • Transit examples • FTA guidance • Non-transit policies • Other guidance • Your ideas, needs • FEMA guidance • State and local emergency plans • FTA plans Module One There are four sections of the plan.
From page 48...
... But if you have a need for the power tool you accept those cautions and alerts and get on with the work at hand. So too with preparing a hazard and security plan.
From page 49...
... B-11 Any plan is better than no plan. "In preparing for battle I have always found that plans are useless, but planning is indispensable." Dwight D
From page 50...
... Mutual aid partners and regional agencies (who provide support during an emergency and support planning activities) Module One There is a cost benefit to the entire community when you have a plan.
From page 51...
... The purpose of this workshop is to help you establish a balance and a positive cost benefit ratio for your day-to-day activities and your hazard and security plan.
From page 52...
... A balanced approach is the goal of this workshop and the HSP approach. Assess your reasonable hazards and security issues and prepare for those.
From page 53...
... B-15 Be Prepared But Be Balanced The law of diminishing returns applies to anxiety, as to so much else. A little anxiety may yield marked protective gains, but more fear may not be worth the costs.
From page 54...
... : "Don't panic! " Module One Panic paralyzes you because it puts you into your lizard brain (that part of our brain that controls all your involuntary responses and shoots your body full of adrenaline)
From page 55...
... B-17 Being Balanced Means We… Examine each possible occurrence and think about it calmly, rationally… Personal Family Company-Organization Module One To best understand the material in this workshop it is helpful to understand how the HSP process applies to you personally, your family, and your organization. The same principles apply to each situation as you will see in the next few slides.
From page 56...
... B-18 Examine Each Possible Occurrence Impact of Occurrence Versus Possibility of Occurrence (A Vulnerability Assessment) And Balance with Cost Benefit Module One Whether it is you personally, your family, or your system, you will look at each possible hazard or security occurrence and imagine its impact and the possibility of its happening.
From page 57...
... Severity (Be sure to explain that this means "impact of occurrence" since this is the terminology used in the upcoming exercises. catastrophic = disastrous event; critical = survivable but costly; marginal = relatively inconsequential; negligible = limited or no impact.
From page 58...
... If you panic you are likely to go into your lizard brain…fight or flight…and then you cannot think rationally. Write one occurrence per card.
From page 59...
... B-21 Flying in a Commercial Airplane Probability of occurrence Impact of occurrence Pilot Error Drink Spilled Wing Falls Off Possible Occurrences Module One There is a wide range of potential problems or threats that could either directly or indirectly affect you the next time you fly. These occurrences range from the likely to the rare.
From page 60...
... Module One (Review slide and then go around the room and select different students to share what they imagined. Try to get things that are rare, unlikely and likely to happen, then show next slide.)
From page 61...
... B-23 Reasonable Response: Flying Module One (Briefly show slide.) So that leads us to the next slide when thinking rationally about travel.
From page 62...
... In preparing the HSP, we constantly think about the risk associated with a hazard or security incident and balance our risk or vulnerability assessment with our available resources.
From page 63...
... If you panic you are likely to go into your lizard brain…fight or flight…and then you cannot think rationally. Write one occurrence per card.
From page 64...
... B-26 Threats to Your Home Probability of occurrence Impact of occurrence Roof Leak Dog Soils Rug Fire Possible Occurrences Module One There is a wide range of potential problems or threats that could either directly or indirectly affect you and your family in your home. These occurrences range from likely to rare.
From page 65...
... Your family could be injured or killed in a fire, but that is not as likely as your pet dog soiling your rug. Module One (Review slide.)
From page 66...
... D1. Module One (Review slide.)
From page 67...
... The HSP is also designed to keep you out of your lizard brain, your hypothalamus, and keep you out of the fight or flight mode. The HSP will help you manage each hazard or security situation in a professional and calm manner.
From page 68...
... B-30 Transportation System Threats Probability of occurrence Impact of occurrence Robberies/Assaults Vandalism Terrorism Possible Occurrences Module One There is a wide range of potential acts or threats that could either directly or indirectly affect your transportation system. These acts include vandalism, theft, robberies, assaults and other types of workplace violence, all the way up to terrorism.
From page 69...
... Reynolds, Knopf Publishing. Again, the purpose of the HSP is to create balance and avoid panic and paranoia.
From page 70...
... This graph shows it is unlikely that you will be responsible for an act of terrorism as a first responder but you may be asked to respond in some way -- evacuation or communication, for example -- so we include some element of all possible occurrences in our HSP. You will only have prime responsibility for those activities that have modest or low consequences.
From page 71...
... B-33 All-Hazards Security & Emergency Preparedness: Your Areas of Prime Responsibility Prevent incidents within control and responsibility of transit system Respond to situations and events Mitigate loss Protect passengers, personnel, and critical assets Support community response with equipment and capabilities Recover from major events with available resources and programs Module One While the previous slide provided an idea of your specific areas of responsibilities, this slide sets out the generic all-encompassing areas of responsibility for your transit service.
From page 72...
... Corrective actions are more expensive than preventive measures. Module One Finally, before we discuss the use of the HSP, it is important to understand the concept of universal design as it applies to the development of a hazard and security plan.
From page 73...
... or to something big (like to a tornado OR a spill at a local chemical factory OR a bomb threat) - CLICK The approach here emphasizes the fundamentals: • Clear agency policies – Dozens of sample policies are offered in this document that transit agencies can use as templates.
From page 74...
... B-36 Introduction to HSP Process Module One The HSP is not rocket science. Even a kid can do it -- maybe not at your level of sophistication, but everyone has some level of HSP, as we illustrated with our discussion of flying and your house catching on fire.…they just don't call it that.
From page 75...
... With a feedback loop to maintain the plan which makes it ….strategic…. Module One (Review slide.
From page 76...
... When things happen just so and set points are indicated, the light goes on and action is taken.) The HSP is a system with many feedback loops.
From page 77...
... There are a number of regulations at different levels of government that affect the secure operation of the transit agency. These might be (go through the list)
From page 78...
... Follow the information in your HSP template on NIMS and go to the referenced website so you can understand how NIMS applies. The basic elements of NIMS are presented here and the following slides.
From page 79...
... NIMS provides a structure for responding and planning. NIMS requires that agencies: •Institutionalize use of Incident Command System •Incorporate NIMS concepts into Emergency Operations Plans •Incorporate NIMS concepts into existing training programs and exercises •Promote mutual aid agreements •Coordinate, and provide technical assistance to, local entities regarding NIMS •Use federal preparedness funding to support NIMS implementation at state and local levels (DHS Homeland Security Grant Program, Urban Area Security Initiative funds)
From page 80...
... B-42 NIMS Requirements: FY 2006 and FY 2007 To receive 2006 preparedness funding, applicants must certify that they have met the FY 2005 NIMS requirements. NIMSCAST www.fema.gov/NIMSCAST Module One FY 2006: Certify completion of FY 2005 requirements in grant application.
From page 81...
... We will cover each step in this workshop except for number one. By being in this workshop you already recognize the need for a hazard and security plan!
From page 82...
... B-44 1 2 3 4 Module One Here are the four steps we will cover in this workshop to help you complete your template. Likely there are some terms that need clarification, so let's do that first in the next few slides.
From page 83...
... B-45 Key Terms Page 83 Glossary Review list in Glossary…any questions? Module One Go to the glossary in the HSP and review and discuss any words that the students want clarified.
From page 84...
... 3. Preparedness: We bring a fly swatter "Just in case." 4.
From page 85...
... Module One (Discuss concept of prevention.) Actions such as security fences or locking doors are prevention activities.
From page 86...
... B-48 Prevention: Keeping the Vehicle Secure Driver's Vehicle Checklist Mechanic's Vehicle Checklist Vehicle Key Policy Securing Vehicles During the Shift Securing Vehicles at the End of the Shift Route Maintenance Issues Prohibited Items on the Bus Module One Examples of prevention concerning the vehicle: Driver's Vehicle Checklist Mechanic's Vehicle Checklist Vehicle Key Policy Securing Vehicles During the Shift Securing Vehicles at the End of the Shift Route Maintenance Issues Prohibited Items on the Bus 48
From page 87...
... Module One Mitigation Examples: Drivers and mechanics may perform vehicle checks to detect suspicious packages, thereby preventing an incident involving a dangerous substance. The agency may designate a staff member to check weather conditions to ensure that it is safe to send vehicles out on routes.
From page 88...
... Driver policies on security situations such as fare evasion can keep situations from escalating. Checking the weather may alert you to hazardous conditions that can be avoided such as floods or high winds.
From page 89...
... On-board emergency supplies are an example of preparedness activities, as are training and lists of activities, for supervisors and persons who might need to respond to a hazard or security occurrence. (Discussion Example: Passenger attacks driver.

From page 91...
... Examples include evaluating and managing suspicious activities or the actions you take for evacuation of facilities or vehicles. (Discussion Example: Break-in to steal money vaults.
From page 92...
... B-54 Response Determining there is a problem Communicating Mobilizing Module One Discuss slide and responses to questions: Determining there is a problem: Evaluating Suspicious Substances or Packages, Handling a Suspicious Package, Device, or Substance, Handling Suspicious Activities, Bomb Threat Checklist. Communicating: Radio Usage Policy Cell Phone Policy Policy for Requesting Agency Assistance for Security Incidents Notification of Emergency Contact with Local Emergency Manager Emergency Press Release Requesting Outside Assistance Policy for Filing an Incident Report Mobilizing: Mobilization Resource List Normal Hours Emergency Response After Hours Emergency Response Evacuation Procedures Short-Term Response Emergency Escape Procedures and Routes Emergency Drop Points Aborting/Changing Route Due to a Hazard 54
From page 93...
... Module One Recovery activities are those policies Your Community Transit has implemented to assist in recovering from incidents that have occurred. After an incident, whether it is a simple security event (such as vandalism)
From page 94...
... B-56 Recovery Review Insurance Policies Review HSP Review Backup Location Plan Cleanup/Inspection Documentation of Vehicle Use Evaluation Response Oversee Recovery/Restoration Module One (Discuss slide and note that most common recovery activity is what? Cleanup and inspection.)
From page 95...
... Module One Countermeasure–An action or strategy implemented to address a potential hazard, including the four main activities…countermeasure is generic and there are five subsets of activities . HSP Page 18 Section 3: Countermeasures and Strategies Prevention Mitigation: Develop and document actions to reduce the probability and severity of damage, asset loss, or human consequences (such as injuries or fatalities)
From page 96...
... Explain how slide shows the five steps and this transit example relates to the picnic example. They have the same steps just different countermeasures.
From page 97...
... Discuss slide and emphasize that once again here are the picnic steps but there is nothing you can do to prevent the weather! Reduce the severity of consequences by staying off the road when bad weather is expected or in snow country.
From page 98...
... (HSP Page 1) Module Two By completing this section of their plan, the agency answers three important questions: -What is the plan intended to do?
From page 99...
... B-61 Section 1: Establish Policies Page 1 Purpose of the Hazard and Security Plan (HSP) Situations covered by the HSP Statements of Belief and Limitations Module Two Direct students to text to begin the process of adapting the HSP to their organizations.
From page 100...
... B-62 Purpose of the Hazard and Security Plan (HSP) Page 2 "…set out Your Community Transit's procedures for maintaining a safe and secure operations and service environment for passengers, employees and volunteers, and the surrounding community." Module Two Review the purpose of HSP and remind people that items highlighted in the HSP are those items they should adapt to their operating conditions.

From page 106...
... How many hazards and security issues can you identify on this map? Let's use the discussion process of think, pair, and then share.
From page 107...
... Fire stations could be cut off from action. Evacuation of dorms and prisons could be an issue with various plants and a nuclear reactor.

From page 111...
... It's okay for agencies to list only a few hazards…and, really, to have far fewer countermeasures than we list. (Coach the group through the map to identify potential hazards.)
From page 112...

... Module Three Review slide and direct students to Pages 11-14. Do you know the name of who leads emergencies in your locality?
From page 120...
... What agencies will you need to involve in preparing your HSP? Module Three Coach students to think about those agencies in their home area that need to be included in the plan.
From page 121...
... For the task responsibilities that relate directly to your agency, place a check mark by those you already do. Module Three (Coach students through the list.)

From page 126...
... B-88 Backup Facilities Page 14 What are some considerations when selecting a backup facility? Module Three (The graphics give hints to what some of the considerations are.
From page 127...
... Make sure students think beyond computer records and think of: Articles of Incorporation Authorizing documents and resolution Tax records Titles Grants Contracts Lists of employees and key employee records Training records Ask how many systems have taken the simple precaution of a "fire proof" filing cabinet or other storage system? Important note: Remind students that they should practice going to the backup facility -- previous slide -- and restoring backup media.)
