When  the  security  survey  is  complete,  it  provides  a picture of the existing alarm systems and the location of each. It also shows the number and location of manned posts, the number of personnel at these posts, and the schedule of each. With these facts in hand, the AIS technical manager can  evaluate  existing  access  controls  and  protection measures, identify areas where remedial measures are needed, and select specific measures. Always consider the use of various types of security hardware  devices  to  augment  the  existing  personnel protective force. Through the use of such devices, it may be possible to save on operating cost. CONTINGENCY  PLANNING Operation  plans  and  the  command’s  organizational manual   are   prepared   and   executed   for   the accomplishment of the command’s specific mission. These   operation   plans   assume   normal   working conditions, the availability of command resources and personnel, and a normal working atmosphere. Despite careful use of preventive measures, there is always some likelihood that events will occur that could prevent  normal  operations  and  interfere  with  the command accomplishing its mission. For this reason, contingency plans are included in the AIS security program. For the purpose of this chapter, we refer to these contingency plans as the Continuity of Operations Plan (COOP). Three different types of contingency plans makeup a COOP security program for an AIS facility: Emergency   response.   There  should  be procedures for response to emergencies, such as fire, flood, civil commotion, natural disasters, bomb  threats,  and  enemy  attack,  to  protect  lives, limit the damage to naval property, and minimize the impact on AIS operations. Backup  operations.  Backup  operation  plans are  prepared  to  ensure  essential  tasks  (as identified  by  the  risk  analysis)  can  be  completed subsequent to disruption of the AIS and that operations  continue  until  the  facility  is sufficiently restored or completely relocated. Recovery. Recovery plans should be made to permit smooth, rapid restoration of the AIS facility following physical destruction or major damage. Each AIS facility should establish and appoint members to a formal board to construct, review, and recommend command procedures for approval in creating   a   COOP   program.   Figure   4-12   shows suggested tasks and how they may be set up and assigned. Each AIS facility will need to adapt to its own special circumstances and make full use of the resources available  to  it. EMERGENCY  RESPONSE PLANNING The term emergency response planning  is used here to refer to steps taken immediately after an emergency occurs to protect life and property and to minimize the impact of the emergency. The risk analysis should be reviewed by the AIS technical manager to identify emergency  conditions  that  have  particular  implications for AIS operations, such as protection of equipment during a period of civil commotion and subsequent to a natural disaster (fire or flood, for example). Where civil commotion  and  natural  disaster  are  found,  local instructions should be developed and implemented to meet the special needs of the AIS facility. These instructions and procedures may be designated the “Loss Control Plan” and implemented as part of COOP. Loss control can be particularly important to the AIS facility. In a number of recent fires and floods, the value of being prepared to limit damage is amply demonstrated.  By  reviewing  operations  and  the locations of critical equipment and records with shift leaders,  the  AIS  technical  manager  can  develop measures  to  use  in  case  of  an  emergency.  The guidelines should be similar to the following: 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. Notify online users of the service interruption. Terminate jobs in progress. Rewind  and  demount  magnetic  tapes;  remove disk  packs. Power down AIS hardware and cover with plastic sheeting or other waterproof material. Put   tapes,   disks,   run   books,   and   source documents in a safe place. Power down air-conditioning equipment. If evacuation of work areas is ordered or likely, instruct  all  personnel  to: 4-26
