This paper reports the results of an empirical study that analyzes emergency incident response. The paper studies how information systems (IS) complement other organizational assets to help emergency responders achieve satisfactory response performance. We test the research model using empirical data collected from responses to Hurricane Katrina and Hurricane Rita. The results show that IS-enabled asset allocation support directly improves emergency response performance and also positively interacts with non-IS response assets in achieving response success. The results also confirm the value of dispatch systems, interagency communications, and knowledge repositories in developing asset allocation support for an emergency response organization.

“…However, in many cases, the scenario(s) resulting in the greatest potential impact to network operation is of most interest. This is the scenario that planners and policy makers are often interested in when making decisions on where to direct funds for reinforcing or hardening a network to potential threats (Bryson et al 2002;Gilbert et al 2003;Qiao et al 2007;Salmeron, Wood, and Baldick 2004). If the scenario(s) posing the greatest risk to an infrastructure can be identified, then mitigating vulnerability is possible.…”

A Methodological Overview of Network Vulnerability Analysis

Evaluating network infrastructures for potential vulnerabilities is an important component of strategic planning, particularly in the context of managing and mitigating service disruptions. Many methods have been proposed to facilitate such analysis, providing different interpretations of infrastructure vulnerability. The primary approaches that have been employed for network vulnerability analysis can be broadly classified as "scenario-specific", "strategy-specific", "simulation", and "mathematical modeling" methodologies. Research on network vulnerability assessment has traditionally focused on one of these methodologies without consideration of the others. This article highlights the important implications of methodology for both infrastructure planning and policy development. To better understand the theoretical and practical trade-offs associated with methodology selection, this article provides a review of these categories of analysis, examining benefits and shortcomings with regard to practical planning issues and policy interpretation.

“…Hence, there is an increasing interest in security policies on utility tunnels, which has become a matter of great concern (Gilbert et al, 2003;Godard, 2004;Curiel-Esparza & Canto-Perello, 2012). In addition, utility tunnels cannot afford high threat level for a long term without serious operational and economic consequences.…”

ElsevierCantó Perelló, J.; Curiel Esparza, J.; Calvo Peña, V. (2013). Criticality and threat analysis on utility tunnels for planning security policies of utilities in urban underground space. Expert Systems with Applications. 40 (11) AbstractA utility tunnel is defined as an underground structure containing one or more utilities, permitting the installation, maintenance and removal of the systems without the necessity of making street cuts or excavations. These underground facilities contain all essential utilities serving large urban areas collected together in a tunnel; therefore they are an inviting target for sabotage or vandalism. This paper proposes an expert system combining color-coded scales, Delphi and AHP methods to analyze criticality and threats on utility tunnels to support planning of security policies for utilities in urban subsurface.
