  1. State and Local Emergency Needs: Standards, Training, Exercises, Strategic Planning, and New Infrastructure RequirementsSTANDARDSDan Bart, TIACo-Chair ANSI HSSPDecember 13, 2005

  2. Presentation Overview • Standards Portfolio at DHS S&T • ANSI Homeland Security Standards Panel (ANSI HSSP) • TIA Standards in Support of HS and Emergency Communications

  3. Standards at DHS S&T • Standards MISSION: • Building confidence in homeland security technologies, products, services, personnel, and systems • Develop and coordinate the adoption of national standards and appropriate evaluation methods to meet homeland security mission needs • 􀂃 Requirements Development • 􀂃 Standards Development and Adoption • 􀂃 Testing and Evaluation – Test Method Validation • 􀂃 Conformity Assessment – Compliance Testing • 􀂃 Coordination with Federal, state, local government, private sector and international standards community

  4. DHS Standards • DHS lacks statutory authority to issue standards except in limited legacy programs – Coast Guard marine safety equipment • Public Law 104-113 (1995) - National Technology Transfer and Advancement Act (NTTAA) directs that agencies will use voluntary consensus standards • DHS will leverage expertise and resources of its partners at NIST and in the private sector standards communities to develop voluntary consensus standards

  5. DHS Multiple Layers of StandardsRequirements • High visibility interagency issues (cyber security, communications, biometrics) • Cross-cutting issues within the new Department (emergency preparedness, first responder equipment, risk assessment) • Infrastructure support for standards for components (data standards, cyber for CIO; mission support Coast Guard, FEMA, TSA, Secret Service)

  6. DHS Strategic Partners for Standards • Interagency Agreement with National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) • Coordination/collaboration with specific agencies • DOE for RadNuc Countermeasures • DOD, CDC, USDA, FDA, EPA for bio countermeasures • DOJ/FBI, DOS for biometrics • Alliance with American National Standards Institute (ANSI HSSP) and 300 + Standards Development Organizations (SDOs) • WWW.ANSI.ORG/HSSP • WWW.HSSD.US

  9. Update on Activities of the ANSI Homeland Security Standards Panel

  10. Background: Standards Coordination Needed • The National Strategy for Homeland Security (2002)identified the need for standards to support homeland security (HS) and emergency preparedness • Fourteen critical infrastructure areas were noted • January 2, 2003 Report for Congress stated: • “Neither the federal government, nor the nongovernmental sector presently has a comprehensive, consolidated program for developing new preparedness standards.”

  11. Response: ANSI-HSSP • February 5, 2003: Formation of ANSI-HSSP announced • Facilitate the identification of existing and development and enhancement of new homeland security standards • Examine role for conformity assessment activities • Serve as private/public sector forum for standards issues that cut cross-sector • A partnership, Co-Chairs provided by industry and government

  12. ANSI-HSSP Structure • Led by ANSI-HSSP Co-Chairs • Steering Committee • Comprised of Government Agencies, ANSI SDOs, non-ANSI SDOs, and Companies (ANSI members and non-ANSI) • Acts as US TAG to ISO SAG • Full Panel: Approximately 100 organizational participants • Workshops utilized to address specific HS standards areas

  13. ANSI-HSSP Participation • Participation on the HSSP is open to all affected interests (ANSI and non-ANSI members), including: • Federal, State and Local governments • Industry representatives • Trade Associations and Professional Societies • Standards Developers (ANSI and non-ANSI) • Fora/Consortia • Academia • Consumer interests

  14. Activities since Plenary in 2004 • A plenary meeting was held September 2005 • Published final report from workshop on Biological and Chemical Threat Agents • Launched workshop on standardization for Enterprise Power Security and Continuity • Launched workshop on Perimeter Security standardization • Held final meeting of the workshop on standardization for Training Programs for First Response to WMD events • ANSI completed the Homeland Security Standards Database (HSSD), which includes input from previous HSSP workshops convened • Partner with homeland security efforts such as DHS National Preparedness Month, NCSP, NGATS Security IPT, etc.

  15. ANSI-HSSP Activities Going Forward • Emergency Communications workshop to meet December 14 and 15 at NIST, Gaithersburg • October meeting cancelled due to Katrina • Final report of Training Programs workshop being finalized • Task groups working in Power Security and Perimeter Security areas • Steering Committee to provide input to ISO/IEC Strategic Advisory Group (SAG) on Security • Continue to examine potential new areas for workshops

  16. Types of Emergency Communications • Individual/Organization-to-Individual/Organization: • A citizen communicating an emergency to another citizen or private organization via available options [e.g., ON-STAR-like message, amateur radio, mobile and land-line communications (e.g., CMRS, FRS, GMRS, CB, etc.) , broadcast and mass media, Internet, email lists, faxes, information services, and word of mouth]. Includes employer-to-employee and employer-to-employer emergency communications. • Includes Employer-to-Employee and Employer-to-Employer • Individual/Organization-to-Government: • A citizen communicating an emergency message to appropriate authorities via available options (e.g., E9-1-1/1-1-2 call to Public Safety Answering Point (PSAP), call to HSOC, amateur radio, and mobile communications (with or without location services). • Government-to-Individual/Organization: • Government or authorized officials communicating alerts or details of an emergency to citizens via available options (e.g., Governmental mass media alerts, citizen accessible radio services and common channels, highway alerts, voluntary citizen alert services [localized and national], e-mail/voice-mail and word of mouth). • Government-to-Government: • Governmental authorities communicating to each other, other agencies and appropriate National Security / Emergency Preparedness (NS/EP)-designated private industry concerns and coordinators (i.e., using all forms of telecommunications services, private radio, Commercial Mobile Radio Services (CMRS), e-mail/messaging alerts, etc.).
