Homeland Security

Read and reply to the questions and answers below. Do you afree or disagree with the answers. Why or why not?

1. Explain the concept of resilience and its consideration in assessing the vulnerability of CIKR and homeland security

efforts.
Per the Department of Homeland Security blog (2009) the Critical Infrastructure and Key Resources (CIKR) Simply put, is

comprised of power grids and water filtration plants; national monuments and government facilities; telecommunications and

transportation systems; chemical facilities and much more.
Most of the public fails to recognize many facets of our critical infrastructure and the impact a terrorist attack can have

on us as a nation. Resilience as it relates to CIKR is the ability to resume normal operations as soon as possible after an

event (whether it be a terrorist incident or a natural disaster). In my organization over the last several years in addition

to being NIMS Compliant as it relates to ICS have also focused a lot of energy on “Continuity of Operations” which will

assist us in resuming operations both at the seaport and airport jurisdictions we provide services to. Being an international

airport we serve as an important asset to the region and in the event of an incident we will serve as the landing grounds for

the response to deal with the incident at hand.

2. Describe interdependency as it relates to CIKR and its role in the development of infrastructure protection plans.
As stated in the NIPP (2009) Interdependency is a mutually reliant relationship between entities (objects, individuals, or

groups). The degree of interdependency does not need to be equal in both directions. One must not neglect the importance of

establishing relationships not only across governmental agencies but also the public entities who are also key stakeholders

in the critical infrastructure.
