Hazard-Specific Response Plans
"The concept of incident response—preparing for and responding to negative events affecting an organization—has long been the standard for the Dams Sector. Examples of standard practices to ensure continuity of operations during adverse events include emergency action plans, preventative maintenance programs, and contingency plans for operations. However, several types of incidents—including cyber, active shooter, and explosives—escalate quickly and therefore require additional thought and planning specific to the type of hazard to implement a quick and effective response."[1]
"Hazard-specific response plans, as a stand-alone plan or an annex to a broader plan, can be effective tools to document the specific roles and responsibilities, requirements, and actions necessary to empower personnel to respond to a security incident without unnecessary delays. Regardless the plan format, protocols included in hazard-specific plans should be consistent with protocols in the organization’s other emergency plans. As with all emergency plans, hazard-specific plans should include a schedule for training, exercises, and regular review and update."[1]
