Risk Management Approaches to Protection
"Corporate America quantifies risks based on mathematical statistics, and for lesser known events, on probabilistic modeling. As both producers and consumers of abundant risk management data, corporations excel at analyzing the effects of threats and vulnerabilities that have been previously observed and for which abundant and well-controlled data is available. This private sector experience and expertise could be of use to the Federal government as it meets the current challenge of capturing an abundance of data across a nearly endless spectrum of plausible risks, and then assessing and managing that data in a timely and efficient manner. This report will delineate three key findings, the first of which are the practices of risk quantification and modeling. Today, a substantial number of risk quantification models and methods exist. The National Infrastructure Advisory Council (NIAC) focused on the models and methods that present the most applicability to critical infrastructure protection. The second focus of this report is risk tolerance and risk acceptance. There is very little utility in developing mature, complex national risk management models and the supporting infrastructure without a clear understanding of the nation's tolerance for risk. The Council does not intend to advise the government on risk tolerance that is a national policy question. This report does however, identify a need for a national discussion on risk acceptance and risk tolerance. Such a discussion is critical for the implementation of all subsequent recommendations provided in the report."

National Infrastructure Advisory Council (NIAC): NIAC Chemical, Biological and Radiological Events and the Critical Infrastructure Workforce
This study group presentation outlines the National Infrastructure Advisory Council's recommendations "for preparing those who work in and maintain areas considered Critical Infrastructure (CI) for a chemical, biological, or radiological (CBR) event and ensure they have the tools, training, and equipment necessary to identify, respond to and recover from a CBR event."

Prioritization of Critical Infrastructure for a Pandemic Outbreak in the United States Working Group: Final Report and Recommendations by the Council
"Though its timing, severity, and ultimate strain remain a mystery, a pandemic promises to test the critical infrastructure of both the United States and the world. Public health officials have long maintained the potential for pandemic influenza is not a matter of if, but rather a matter of when. To avoid an economic and social catastrophe, pandemic preparedness demands full public- and private-sector participation. With that in mind, U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Secretary Michael Chertoff joined Secretary Leavitt in May 2006 to ask the National Infrastructure Advisory Council (NIAC) to provide them and President Bush with recommendations regarding the prioritization and distribution of pandemic countermeasures to the essential workers in our nation's Critical Infrastructure and Key Resource (CI/KR) sectors. Given the scope and scale of a pandemic, the Federal government has repeatedly asserted it cannot handle all pandemic preparedness, response, and recovery efforts on its own. In their letter to the NIAC, the Secretaries highlighted the necessity for the public and private sectors to prepare for this serious threat. The Secretaries also emphasized their understanding that successful pandemic planning requires coordination across all CI/KR sectors."

Chemical, Biological, and Radiological Events and the Critical Infrastructure Workforce: Final Report and Recommendations
From the Executive Summary: "The National Infrastructure Advisory Council (NIAC) convened a Working Group to study the impact of chemical, biological, and radiological (CBR) events on the critical infrastructure worker, and to make recommendations to the White House and the Department of Homeland Security that will strengthen our nation's ability to respond to a CBR event. The timing and methodology of such an event is difficult to predict, and estimates on its impact are wide-ranging. However, there are specific principles that, when effectively implemented, will improve our ability to identify, respond to, and recover from an attack on our critical infrastructure. The NIAC designed this report to identify attributes of different chemical, biological, or radiological event scenarios, identify key elements necessary to sustain critical infrastructure operations, and to make recommendations that will improve our ability to contain the impact, recover from its consequences, and restore the nation's critical infrastructure to a pre-event state."
