CRITICAL INFRASTRUCTURE RESPONSE TOOL

A new variation of the Disciplined Approach to Emergency Response chart which we have named the "Critical Infrastructure Response Tool" has been developed for the Canadian Standards Association as part of their Municipal Infrastructure Solutions Program. The process was used for the first time yesterday during a pilot training course on Critical Infrastructure Protection for Municipalities and we received very positive feedback from course attendees. The response tool helps responders focus on the protection of critical infrastructure during response to an incident. We will be requesting CSA's permission to post the Critical Infrastructure Response Tool on the DA2ER.info web site.
