Overview
Emergency Preparedness pre - 9/11/01 Security and Emergency preparedness not widely recognized
as necessary function within organizations. Programs typically consisted of informal policies and
procedures that were not well integrated.
Emergency Preparedness post - 9/11/01 Federal, state and local agencies have realized the need for
comprehensive Emergency Preparedness Program that addresses integration within the agency and interoperability between agencies. As a result – NRP and NIMS
![Page 5: Incorporating NIMS into Transportation Management Centers](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062422/56813af6550346895da37e07/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
NRP and NIMS Guidance
What is the National Response Plan (NRP) and what does the assignment of Emergency Support Function (ESF) #1 mean to transportation agencies?
How does NIMS relate to the NRP
Can the NIMS concepts really be integrated into the day-to-day operations of a transportation management center
Why is it important? NIMS establishes a common approach to incidents and promotes interoperability

Incorporating NIMS Concepts into TMC Operations
1. Formal Adoption of NIMS Concepts
2. Performance of a NIMSCAST Audit
3. Incorporation of NIMS elements into TMC Protocols such as:
Incident/Emergency Management Plan
Standard Operating Procedures
Training Program
Drills and Exercise Program
![Page 18: Incorporating NIMS into Transportation Management Centers](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062422/56813af6550346895da37e07/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)

Emergency Preparedness Program Elements
1. Threat Vulnerability Assessment
2. Threat/Hazard Mitigation Program
3. Emergency Management Plan
4. Standard Operating Procedures

![Page 20: Incorporating NIMS into Transportation Management Centers](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062422/56813af6550346895da37e07/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
1. Threat Vulnerability Assessment
Identifies and Assesses Critical Assets(People, facilities, equipment, processes, and information)
Profiles Hazards and Threats(Natural, technological and man-caused)
Assesses Risks and Consequences(Probability of events occurring and extent of possible damage)
Compares and Prioritizes Risks(Evaluation and ranking of risks to determine primary concerns)
Identifies Mitigation and Countermeasures(Improvement or development of hazard or threat management program)
![Page 21: Incorporating NIMS into Transportation Management Centers](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062422/56813af6550346895da37e07/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)

2. Threat/Hazard Mitigation Program Threat/Hazard Management Plan
(Policies and procedures related to hazards identification, risk assessment and mitigation)
Security Threats(Lighting, fences, locks, barriers, facility/structure hardening, access control, ID systems, video cameras, intercom, etc.)
Natural/Technological Hazards(HVAC procedures, alternate locations, evacuation plan, traffic management plan)
Traffic Management Center (Facility design, alternate facility, communications systems, video monitoring system, IT network, B/U generator, staffing plan)
![Page 23: Incorporating NIMS into Transportation Management Centers](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062422/56813af6550346895da37e07/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
3. Emergency Management Plan
Determines lines of authority and organizational relationships
Assigns emergency responsibilities to divisions and individuals through the CONOPS (NIMS Concepts – Modular, Scalable Incident Response)
Identifies equipment, facilities, supplies and other resources available for use during response and recovery operations
Plan’s annexes are based on the organizational structure of the client (Operations, Maintenance, etc.)

6. Drills and Exercise Program
Table Top Exercises (A structured and prompt driven scenario discussion between key personnel)
Notification Drills (Drills conducted both on or off hours to test the acknowledgement and response to an incident/emergency notification or call out)
Functional Exercises (Structured, objective driven drills involving a scenario that focuses on and tests a single internal function such as security, fire, hazmat, etc.)
Full Scale Exercises (Structured, objective driven exercises involving a scenario that tests multiple organizational functions and integration/coordination with other agencies)
