Information specific threats

Monitoring threat information should be a regular part of a security program manager s job, and utility-, facility-, and region-specific threat levels and information should be shared with those responsible for security. As part of security planning, chemical facilities should develop systems to access threat information and procedures that will be followed in the event of increased industry or facility threat levels, and should be prepared to put these procedures in place immediately, so that adjustments are seamless. Involving local law enforcement and FBI is critical.

Advanced, rapid diagnostics that identify a specific threat agent. Such basic information is required for effective prevention, detection, clinical diagnosis. 

In parallel with developing convalescent sera or vaccines, it is important to develop advanced, rapid diagnostic devices that idenlily a specific threat agent. This basic information would be required for prevention, detection, diagnosis, and therapy. Near-term technologies should be aimed at providing partial information immediately followed by a thorough evaluation. 

Citizens often have only a limited chance of avoiding or controlling threats to physical safety. They can be offered a modus operandus, however they can be taught what to do to avoid or to minimise damage. One essential factor is to provide them with proper information about the risks in their environment and their insurance options. Organising drills can help them put the modus operandus into practice. At the moment, practical drills are often left to the professionals. Citizens are not involved and evacuation drills are in fact usually announced in advance so that there is no disruption to everyday life ( remain seated, this is only a drill ). In countries such as Japan and Singapore, it is more customary for people to learn how to cope with physical safety issues and receive training with respect to specific threats. People are more aware of what they are supposed to do. 

While one specific threat has been provided, what additional information would you like to know about the threat ... 

In the absence of specific threat information, it will be most appropriate to invest in mitigation and preparedness for general classes of vulnerabilities. 

Contact the police, giving as much information as possible appearance, demographics, verbatim threats. You may need to break confidentiality and make reasonable efforts to warn a specific person if you believe Bradley will harm them You re not expected to warn the general public of non-specific threats (e.g. if Bradley hates vegans), though should still contact the police if violence seems likely. 

A threat assessment should look at each information asset and then determine its liability. Threats can include both accidental and malicions acts originating from inside or ontside the organization. The threat assessment dictates that each situation of concern be viewed and assessed individually. Application of the assessment is guided by the facts of the specific threat and carried out through an analysis of its characteristics. Providing a safe information environment is very different and is based on the medium in which the information is stored.

This proliferation in the use of color additives was soon recognized as a threat to the pubHc s health. Of particular concern were the practices of a dding poisonous colorants to food, and of using dyes to hide poor quaUty or to add weight or bulk to certain items. References 5—14 provide additional information on the history of food colorants and thek regulation. Reference 15 provides more information regarding the appHcations, properties, specifications, and analysis of color additives, as well as methods for the determination of colorants in products. 

EPCRA also requires facilities to notify the appropriate state and local authorities if releases of certain chemicals occur. Facilities must also compile specific information about hazardous chemicals they have on-site and the threats posed by those substances. Some of this information must be provided to state and local authorities. More specific data must be made available upon request from those authorities or from the general public. 

Intelligence Information to characterize specific or general threats including the motivation, capabilities, and activities of adversaries. 

When developing the list of substances, EPA considered only the inherent characteristics of a chemical that indicate a severe threat due to exposure. Well-defined criteria were used for toxicity and flammability. However, because of the complexities of site-specific factors and process conditions, EPA was unable to determine any inherent characteristic as an indicator of reactivity. EPA concluded that there was insufficient technical information for developing criteria for identifying reactive substances. 46 Consequently, the January 1994 RMP list of 130 chemicals does not contain any substances listed due to reactive hazards.
