A contingency planning program is required by IWC policy, and specific responsibilities are identified and assigned. Contingency planning for most at IWC is not perceived to be part of their job. Seldom do they consider the potential effects of a contingency occurrence. Employees and management tend to focus on the priorities of their specific jobs and departments. Therefore, it is not automatically or even normally addressed. Contingency planning is generally not considered part of the normal daily operation for most employees, departments, or organizations. It is also an integral part of the IWC CAPP. Having an IWC policy on contingency planning is the basis for a sound and functional program. If the damage is severe and the mitigation of such damage has not been properly planned for, the effect could be catastrophic. The extent of the impact will correspond to the extent of the disruption or damage. The inability to restore normal operations will have an adverse economic impact on IWC. Should disruptions occur, and they do all too often, IWC must be able to resume normal business activities as quickly as possible. The purpose of contingency planning is to better enable IWC to maintain continuity of the business. Halibozek, in Handbook of Loss Prevention and Crime Prevention (Fifth Edition), 2012 Contingency Planning Program For high-security sites, neutralization, or defeat of the adversary after interruption, is another aspect of response force effectiveness.ĭr.Gerald L. It is assumed that for most industrial facilities, arrival will cause the adversary to surrender or abandon the intrusion.
Interruption describes arrival of the response force at the appropriate location. The probability of neutralization can be used at sites where an immediate response is present and guards are expected to engage with the adversary.
The measures of response force effectiveness include response force time for interruption and probability of communication. Response force strategies include containment, denial, and assault.Ī vital element of response force effectiveness is communication. Response to a malevolent event can be immediate, requiring a response force capable of timely response, or after-the-fact recovery, which is accomplished through a greater range of activities. This includes corporate policies and procedures, training, determination of response force tactics, use of force, and normal operating procedures. Mary Lynn Garcia CPP, in Design and Evaluation of Physical Protection Systems (Second Edition), 2008 Security PrinciplesĬontingency planning forms the basis of an effective response force. State and local governments along with private enterprises in states like California and Mississippi spend large sums of money to prepare to mitigate the effects of earthquakes and flooding. More common hazards such as severe weather and other natural events have caused enough damage to drive organizations to better preparedness. Prior to the 20th century, nuclear contamination was not a concern, but today countries with nuclear power generation capabilities have in place extensive contingency plans that are regularly tested. Types of contingencies develop and change over time as societies and organizations change and progress. This allows for consistency in preparedness and best utilization of resources. However, contingencies can be grouped into categories and planned for accordingly. It is a daunting task to attempt to plan for each and every possible contingency. A particular point we attempt to make lies with the importance of planning for categories of contingencies. Within this chapter, the authors have attempted to provide the reader with a framework for understanding the complexities of contingency planning and the development of contingency plans.
