What to do with the results of the RA?
Using the results of the VA, answer the following questions about prevention and mitigation strategies:
- Who should be involved?
- What considerations should be made?
- Which strategies can address your vulnerabilities?
- What resources are available to your utility?
Rick has completed the assessment of Our Town Utility's vulnerabilities. He has found that multiple assets are at risk for damage during flooding events and that the aging infrastructure at his utility makes it even more vulnerable.
Rick also found that there were security risks at the utility. He would like to determine what to do next. As the emergency coordinator, he can use the results of the risk assessment to identify prevention and mitigation strategies to address the vulnerabilities.
To identify appropriate strategies, he asks the following questions:
- Who should be involved?
- What considerations should be made?
- Which strategies can address my vulnerabilities?
- What resources are available to my utility?
