Essential 8 – Increase Infrastructure Resilience

General approach Coordinating function –Decentralised system Scorecard used to raise work quality –Supporting us in supporting others

Approach Based on the two scenarios from Essential 2 –Ice storm: regional project 2011 –Flash flood: based on 2013 rain –F-samverkan –Additional interviews

Approach Private stakeholders –Hard to engage in a small city – regional approach Regional project: food, fuel, electricity, transports and IT –Planing phase now –Small scale –Using Scorecard in the planning

Indicators 29 indicators 11 sectors/types of infrastructure –Service days at loss –Critical asset service days at loss –Cost of restoration All indicators are assessment indicators Ind.FormContentApplicationAssessm – x

Challenges The extent Indicators can be hard to assess Engaging private companies Sensitive information External consequences

Challenges Continuity management vs. scenario based method –Both applicable – desired outcome –Quantitative vs qualitative measurements ?! Scenario Assets, linkages, resources

Outcome Important essential! Identifying different infrastructure sectors Understanding them (discussions) –Foundation of resilience –Expanding Indicator 2.1.3! Identify which scenarios cause disruptions to many

Suggestions Generic and comprehensive identification and assessment of critical assets/nodes etc Focus even more on shortages or critical nodes affected, as well as number of customers affected Function and infrastructure –Eg roads vs. transportation (staff, vehicles, fuel, goods etc.)? Linkages and cascading consequences

Essential 9 – Ensure Effective Disaster Response

Approach 13 Indicators General indicators –Regional crisis management network – F-samverkan Scenario specific indicators –Based upon the two scenarios from E2

The indicators Ind.Item measured General Scenario specific FormContentApplicationAssessment Eary warning systems X X Emergency response plans X XX Police surge capacity X st responders staffing needs defined (x)X XX Equipment needs defined (x)X XX X Ability to feed population X X Shelter needs X X Ability to meet staple goods needs X X Availability of fuel X X?? Interoperability X X Emergency operations centre X? X Practice X XX Effectiveness of drills and training X XX

Challenges Complicated indicators Regional level – exceeds smaller cities Several stakeholders – information needed but who are we ”assessing”? –Discussions the outcome Essentials 8 and 9 Linkages – hard to map but key to some assessments Technology focused eg warning system

Outcome Identification and assessment of general functions Assessing what we need for different scenarios A discussion about capability and resources in different organisations Asking for the outcome – positive!

Suggestions General functions – general planning Specific functions – critical consequences/abilities rather than consequences for defined scenarios Based on E2 – more generic? Essential 8 and 9 – perspectives Infrastructure and function –Organisation, cooperation, knowledge etc.
