Question #1
: Knowing that the real-world will include major interruptions
in critical infrastructure operations due to natural or man-made
causes, what do you believe to be the proper roles and
responsibilities of state and local governmental bodies vice the
federal government in planning for, managing, and responding
to massive disruptions that feature maximum complexity,
destruction, and disruption to our critical infrastructures?
Compare your views with how matters were handled with
Hurricanes Katrina and Sandy versus how matters have been
recently handled with Hurricanes Harvey, Irma, and Maria…i.e.,
was there a difference and, if so, for better or worse?
Question #2
: Given that the real-world consists of periodic occurrences of
significant natural disasters across a spectrum of threats ranging
from man-made (terrorist, cyber, etc.) to natural (earthquakes,
floods, tornadoes, etc.) that can disrupt and destroy
infrastructure in many areas, how best should critical
infrastructure sector leaders and managers go about determining
key risks, assessing vulnerabilities, and preparing adequately
for future emergencies?
Question #3
: It’s been over ten years since Hurricane Katrina hit the Gulf
Coast. One of the after-effects was much reporting, hearings,
discussions, and legislation by decision makers in an attempt to
help ensure that such future events would not result in a similar
amount of chaos when it came to recovery and restoration
efforts. What would you identify as three key aspects –
initiatives, discussions/debates, modifications to existing or
new legislation or policy, etc. – that has occurred since
Hurricane Katrina that you believe has or may have significant
positive impacts to the future preparedness of critical
infrastructure sectors? Also, do you see any evidence that one
or more of your identified key aspects had been incorporated
and/or impacted the preparedness for Hurricanes Harvey, Irma,
and/or Maria…if so, in what way?
Question #4
: You now work for the Department of Homeland Security
(DHS), and are part of a team tasked to update the
NIPP 2013: Partnering for Critical Infrastructure Security and
Resilience
policy document. The DHS team lead has asked everyone to
review the
NIPP 2013
document and provide at least three (3) recommendations
regarding updates, changes, modifications, additions, deletions,
etc. that you would propose for potential inclusion into what
would become a “new”
NIPP 2018
document. Identify your three (or more) recommendations and
provide an accompanying explanation/rationale for each
recommendation.
