To be able to effectively respond to cyber attacks, establish an intrusion detection strategy that includes alerting network administrators of malicious network activity originating from internal or external sources. Intrusion detection system monitoring is essential twenty-four hours a day this capability can be easily set up through a pager. Additionally, incident response procedures must be in place to allow an...

When mmor data are used, a POD is obtained from the modeled mmor incidences. Response levels at or below 10% can often be used as the POD. The POD alone, being a single-point estimate of a single dose-response curve, does not convey all the critical information present in the data from which it is derived. To convey a measure of uncertainty, the POD should be presented as a central estimate with upper and lower bounds. The POD for extrapolating the relationship to environmental exposure levels of interest, when the latter are outside the range of observed data. 

Answer questions 6-9 by referring to the following table, which provides information on alarm incident response times.

The U.S. Congress passes the Aviation Disaster Family Assistance Act that leads to creation of Red Cross Aviation Incident Response (AIR) Teams to assist victims families. 

During the first several days of the accident, communications between the NRC Incident Response Center in Bethesda, Maryland, and the site were problematic and making it extremely difficult for the NRC to obtain up-to-date information from the plant and utility. Communications were so poor that by Friday morning the NRC management personnel still did not have a clear understanding of conditions at the site. As a result, the NRC recommended an evacuation to the state on the basis of poor and incomplete information. A general evacuation was never officially ordered. Communications did not... 

The Marine Corps s Chemical and Biological Incident Response Force is a unique institutional resource that should prove extremely helpful in developing operational mastery of the chemical and biological threat. Naval leadership should understand the full importance and promise of CBIRF. 

Hammes, Col Thomas X. USMC, Commanding Officer, Fourth Marine Expeditionary Brigade, United States Marine Corps Chemical Biological Incident Response Force, presentation to the committee on December 18, 2001. 

The committee notes that the CBIRF charter specifically calls for a capability to provide incident response and consequence management training to the other Services. The only instance of which the committee is aware in which the Navy availed itself of this training was by the Commander, Fifth Fleet. It is recommended that the Commander, Fleet Forces Command, direct the utilization of this valuable resource, particularly for or by shore establishments. 

The Fourth Marine Expeditionary Brigade (Anti-terrorism), or 4th MEB(AT), which was activated on October 31, 2001, encompasses CBIRF. It is chartered to provide unified combatant commanders with a specialized antiterrorism force to conduct initial incident response as well as to combat the threat of worldwide terrorism. 

Besides the Chemical and Biological Incident Response Force, there are two other specialized response capabilities of note—the National Guard s civil support teams (CSTs) and the Joint Task Force/Civil Support (JTF/CS). 

Both the Navy and the Marine Corps should enlist the expertise and support of key assets the Fifth Fleet the Commander, Fleet Forces Command the naval analytical community the U.S. Northern Command (Homeland Security) the Marine Corps s Chemical and Biological Incident Response Force the Fourth Marine Expeditionary Brigade (Anti-terrorism) and Marine Expeditionary Units (Special Operations Capable). 

All three forms of exercises (tabletop, functional, and full-scale) and incident responses will benefit from an immediate oral and later written critique by the players, controllers, and evaluators. The discussions should address whether the response was consistent with the emergency plan and procedures and, if it is an exercise critique, whether the exercise objectives... 

System responses—actions taken to correct the effects and anticipate the aftereffects of an adverse outcome. Following each event, there is a system response that also needs to be analyzed. How did the system for incident response function How did the management act to improve safety Was an exposed worker properly treated Were communities notified appropriately How did the plant return to a normal state How rapidly did it return Finally, how was the system changed in light of the incident This stage of analysis is considered in Chapter 4.
