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 2015-2016– 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

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

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.
