<br />e_-- <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />Community ResDonse to the Threat of Terrorism -- A Public Entity Risk Institute SvrnDosium <br /> <br />Internal Security <br /> <br />By now most people are familiar with the security provided at airports and the way <br />it is managed, so that security for public buildings need not be a threat. However, lenants <br />and visitors alike must not be lulled into a false sense of security, Just because there is a <br />guard althe gate does not mean that the place is 101ally secure. Therefore, you may want 10 <br />mainlain an internal security system that will provide additional protection. <br /> <br />There are a number of ways to provide internal security, These include keyed or <br />keyless entry systems, closed circuil television systems, roving patrol people or any <br />combination of the above. All of them have cosl impacts, and depending on condilions, <br />have liabilities. Building configuration may make closed circuit television difficult if not <br />impossible, Keyed or keyless entry may be very expensive, Aod roving palrols likewise <br />have their limitations. <br /> <br />In fact, you may need to develop different levels of security for various areas inside <br />the building. This may require some special effort and perhaps some relocation of some <br />officials, bul this should nol be very difficult to do. Having occupants of Ihe building <br />involved in the planning process should facilitate any relocation issues, <br /> <br />The issue of intruding on people may also affect your decisions, This is an area <br />where your agency's legal staff may be able to advise you. Actually, your agency's legal <br />staff should be involved in the entire process, from consultant selection, through the RFP <br />and Ihe conclusion of the project. Again, on your visits to other facilities, discuss inlernal <br />security with your hosts, <br /> <br />Assessing Facilities, Infrastructure Security <br /> <br />So far, we have dealt with building security. However, public works and general <br />services people need to be aware of security needs for other facilities and systems under <br />their jurisdiction, Sewage and water collection, distribution and treatmenl facilities, sports <br />complexes, arenas, theaters, museums, transil stalions, schools and hospitals are all <br />potential targets. Condition assessment analysis is a good tool for determining the <br />condition of these facilities and systems that are needed to serve the people. These analyses <br />look at structural conditions, life-safety and code compliance, maintenance history, <br />usability, and a number of other ilems that need to be reviewed on a regular basis to ensure <br />that Ihe money spenl on Ihe operation and maintenance of the infrastructure is done so <br />wisely. <br /> <br />Likewise, a vulnerability assessment could and should be included in the analysis, <br />This would use some of the same people listed above and help clarify decisions that need <br />to be made, especially with regard to use, repair with upgrades, and/or replacement. But <br />now that you are considering vulnerability you need to bring in experts who are qualified <br />to assist you in Ihis part ofthe process. <br /> <br />Public Works and Terrorism <br /> <br />3 <br />
