<br />, <br /> <br />SECTIONS <br /> <br />ANAHEIM URBAN AREA <br /> <br />The Anaheim Urban Area incorporates the cities in the northern portion of the county as indicated in RFP <br /># 04-146. <br /> <br />SANTA ANA URBAN AREA <br /> <br />The Santa Ana Urban Area incorporates the cities in the southern portion of the county as indicated in <br />RFP # 04-146. <br /> <br />FUNCTIONAL COMPONENTS <br /> <br />The Terrorist Preparedness Plan wiil be divided into three components: Risk Assessment. Capabilities <br />Assessment and the Spendinq Strateqv. <br /> <br />RISK ASSESSMENT <br /> <br />The risk assessment wiil address the foilowing key objectives: <br /> <br />1. Promote interagency coliaboration/coordination of criminal, investigative and inteiligence <br />information reiating to terrorism in the Orange County Operational Area (OCOA). <br /> <br />2. Assess the threat to particular targets in order for agencies to focus on prevention and <br />preparedness, and enhance response capabilities. <br /> <br />3. Identify the types of WMD/CBRNE likely to be used in order to identify required response training <br />and equipment. <br /> <br />Threat Assessment (Part 1 of the Risk Assessment) <br />The first step in the risk assessment wiil be to identify and characterize the potential threat elements <br />(PTEs) and their ability to commit a weapon of mass destruction (WMD) attack using a chemical. <br />biological, radiological. nuclear, or explosive (CBRNE) device. Threat factors to be addressed include the <br />existence of the threat, the history. potential intentions. WMD capabilities and potentiai targeting. <br />Coilection of this information wili lead to the development of an UA threat profile. This information will <br />need to be provided by the law enforcement agencies. An issue that will likely arise is that this information <br />is normaily kept by the FBI and joint terrorism task force (JTTF), and these entities treat this information <br />as highly sensitive and confidential. In our experience. we should be able to coilect non-specific <br />information that would be adequate to convey a sense of the potential threat to the County. <br /> <br />We wiil also compile information from law enforcement (LE). fire services (FS) and hazardous materials <br />response teams (HM) regarding the responses to suspected-CBRNE incidents in the county. We will <br />breakdown these incidents by CBRNE type. It should be noted that based on our experience the <br />suspected biological agent incidents wiil dominate the data due to the rash of white powder (suspected <br />anthrax) incidents post 9/11. <br /> <br />URS will develop a draft report section for review and comment and we wili finalize this section <br />incorporating comments received. <br /> <br />Page90f51 <br />
