Foreword

The Office of the Assistant Attorney General, Office of Justice Programs (OJP) is providing funds to
States under the State Domestic Preparedness Equipment Program for the purchase of specialized
equipment for fire, emergency medical, hazardous materials response services, and law enforcement
agencies. These funds will be used to enhance the capabilities of State and local units of government
to respond to acts of terrorism involving weapons of mass destruction (WMD).

As the State agency designated to administer this program, your role in strategic planning and in
assessing  overall State and local capabilities is a critical component of OJP's State and local
domestic preparedness initiative. Receipt of additional funds under the program will be contingent on
the State's development of two separate, but related, documents. The first is a Statewide Needs
Assessment, and the second is a Three-Year Statewide Domestic Preparedness Strategy. The Needs
Assessment will require each State to assess its requirements for equipment, first responder training,
and other resources involved in a WMD response. This Needs Assessment will form the basis of the
Statewide Strategy. The Strategy will direct how States will target grant funds received under the
OJP equipment program and provide OJP a guide on how to target first responder training and other
resources available through OJP's Office for State and Local Domestic Preparedness Support.  It is
important to understand that the Strategy is a multi-year document and will continue to guide
deployment of these resources, by the States for equipment funds, and OJP for other resources, over
the next three years.

To assist States in conducting their threat, risk and needs assessments, and developing their three-
year strategy, OJP has developed an on-line data collection tool.  This on-line tool was developed in
close cooperation with the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) and the Centers for Disease Control
and Prevention (CDC).  To guide users of the on-line tool, OJP is providing this Assessment and
Strategy Development Tool Kit.  The intent of the Took Kit is to provide users with a step-by-step
guide to which they can refer when the on-line tool becomes available.

States may begin registering users for the on-line data collection tool beginning July 5, 2000, in the
first phase of this process.  OJP will implement the second phase of the data collection process on
August 1, 2000.  At that time, software will be made available on-line for local jurisdiction data
input.  State agencies will be able to input data beginning August 15, 2000, when the third phase of
the on-line process is implemented.  Instructions for electronic submission of the data and statewide
strategies using the world wide web can be found on OJP's web page at www.ojp.usdoj.gov/osldps.

I look forward to working with you and your colleagues during the implementation of this program
to enhance State and local emergency response capabilities in preparation for an event that will
hopefully never take place.

Sincerely,



C.H. "Butch" Straub II
Director
Office for State and Local Domestic Preparedness Support

                                           Section 1
         Assessment and Strategy Tool Kit Introduction

A Program Guidelines and Application Kit was provided to each state=s designated
administrative agency for the Fiscal Year (FY) 1999 State Domestic Preparedness Equipment
Program during February 2000.  These guidelines and materials included an Appendix C,
AGuidance for Conducting a Needs Assessment and Developing a Statewide Domestic
Preparedness Strategy.@  This guidance specified that the conduct of a Needs Assessment,
followed by the development of a three-year Statewide Domestic Preparedness Strategy were
conditions of the state=s acceptance of grant funds under the FY 1999 State Domestic
Preparedness Equipment Program.  Additionally, this guidance indicated that OJP/OSLDPS
developed assessment and strategy tools, detailed guidance and forms to be provided in a
subsequent mailing.  Accordingly, this document, Assessment and Strategy Development
Tool Kit for the FY 1999 State Domestic Preparedness Equipment Program is provided for
each of the designated state administrative agencies (SAA) to assist and guide their
assessment conduct and strategy development.  This document will be available online and
may be accessed at www.ojp.usdoj.gov/fundopps.htm.  Please note that the version mailed to
you is for planning purposes only and that none of the forms therein may be used for
submitting information.  All information submitted pursuant to satisfaction of assessment and
strategy requirements must be submitted electronically and forms downloaded from the Web
version of the Assessment and Strategy Development Tool Kit.  It was augmented by
OJP/OSLDPS regional workshops held in April, 2000 for the SAAs and by the availability of
extended direct technical assistance.

The tool kit contains eight separate sections following the introduction which combined with
an additional task from Appendix C of the Program Guidelines and Application Kit represent
sequential steps/tasks which each SAA should conduct and complete in order to satisfy the
assessment and strategy conditions of its acceptance of grant funds under the program.  A
summary  of each of these sections/steps along with a brief commentary on its relationship to
other tasks follows:

Step/Task 1 (Appendix C, Items IIIA and IIIB, Program Guidelines and Application Kit):
Identification and Coordination of Jurisdictions.  Prior to conducting the work tasks detailed
in each section of the Assessment and Strategy Tool Kit, each SAA should take actions to
comply with IIIA and IIIB of Appendix C in the Guidelines and Application Kit.  Item IIIA
specifies the identification of jurisdictions and item IIIB specifies the particulars of
coordination among program areas, response disciplines, and levels of government.  The
SAA is responsible for assuring that its assessment and strategy represent the entire state and
all programs, response disciplines, and levels of government involved in domestic
preparedness within the borders of the state. Only subsequent to initiating and completing the
task of jurisdiction identification and to initiating the task of coordination, should  SAAs
begin work on tasks covered in the various sections of the Assessment and Strategy
Development Tool Kit.

                                 Forms in this document are not for submission


Step/Task 2 (Section 2): Risk Assessment Process includes instruments developed by the
FBI and the CDC to evaluate and integrate vulnerability, threat, and public health
performance and yield a risk profile.  This assessment is to be conducted for each identified
jurisdiction within the state.  The results of these assessments combined with the results of
the Capabilities and Needs Assessment at Section 3 will allow the SAA to complete the
Jurisdiction Prioritization Matrix at Section 4.  Additionally, the results should be directly
and indirectly useful in completing tasks in Sections 3, 5, 7, 8, and especially in completion
of the Statewide Domestic Preparedness Strategy at Section 9.

Step/Task 3 (Section 3): Capabilities and Needs Assessment is designed to provide
operational capability information and guide identification of program needs.  This
assessment is to be conducted for each identified jurisdiction within the state.  The results of
these assessments combined with results of the Risk Assessment process at Section 2 will
allow the SAA to complete the Jurisdiction Prioritization Matrix at Section 4.  The results of
these assessments also should be directly or indirectly useful in completing tasks in Sections
5, 7, 8, and 9.   Results are of particular importance for tasks at Sections 5, 8, and 9.

Step/Task 4 (Section 4): Jurisdiction Prioritization Matrix is a form for priority ranking of
each of the state=s identified jurisdictions based on Task 1 (Section 2), Risk Assessment
Process and Task 2 (Section 3), Capabilities and Needs Assessment.  One matrix for each
state is to be completed by the SAA.  The prioritization should be reflected in tasks related to
completion of the Statewide Domestic Preparedness Strategy at Sections 9.

Step/Task 5 (Section 5): Three-year Projection Forms are designed to report existing
resources/efforts and projected needs for each response discipline within each domestic
preparedness program area.  Forms are to be completed for each identified jurisdiction within
the state.  Following completion of jurisdiction forms, the SAA is to complete roll up forms
providing a statewide summary of each response discipline=s resources, efforts, and needs
within each domestic preparedness program area.  The results of Section 3 work should be
helpful in this effort and the results of Section 5 will be instrumental in completion of tasks at
Sections 8 and 9.

Step/Task 6 (Section 6): Additional Training Information.  This form is designed to report
information about domestic preparedness training capacity and needs.  Forms are to be
completed for each identified jurisdiction within the state.  Information from these forms
should be combined with information on state assets and Arolled-up@ into one statewide
summary form by the SAA.  Information from this form should be reflected in the Statewide
Domestic Preparedness Strategy at Section 9.

Step/Task 7 (Section 7): Emergency Response Team Survey.  This form is designed to report the
number and composition of emergency response teams within the state.  Forms are to be completed
for each identified jurisdiction within the state.  Information from these forms should be combined
with information on state assets and  Arolled-up@ into one statewide summary form by the SAA.
Information from this form should be reflected in the Statewide Domestic Preparedness Strategy
covered at Section 9.

Step/Task 8 (Section 8): Recommendations for State and Local Response to WMD Terrorism
Incidents.  This form is designed to report recommendations regarding overall domestic preparedness
efforts within the jurisdiction and state.  Forms are to be completed for each identified jurisdiction
within the state.   Information from these forms should be combined with state-level
recommendations and Arolled-up@ into one statewide summary by the SAA.  Information from the
state roll-up should be reflected in the Statewide Domestic Preparedness Strategy covered at Section
9.

Step/Task 9 (Section 9): Statewide Domestic Preparedness Strategy.  This section  provides an
outline, guidance, and forms to assist completion of the statewide strategy.  One statewide strategy
representing all jurisdictions, domestic preparedness programs, and responder disciplines is to be
completed by the SAA based on all work tasks, forms, and guidance covered at Sections 2 through 8.

The conduct of Needs Assessments and the development of Statewide Domestic Preparedness
Strategies represents a thorough nationwide planning process designed to fill critical gaps in this
country=s knowledge about domestic preparedness and to better guide Federal efforts aimed at
building domestic preparedness capacity through development of a sound, fully informed, national
domestic preparedness strategy.  The Assessment and Strategy Development Tool Kit combined with
OJP/OSLDPS regional workshops and the availability of extended direct technical assistance should
function to minimize potential difficulties that may be encountered by states in conducting
assessments and developing statewide strategies.

                               Risk Assessment Process
Overview:   The United States government has initiated numerous programs aimed at improving our
domestic preparedness against potential terrorist attacks involving WMD.   A fundamental comment
made by numerous government agencies reviewing these programs is that most can improve the
effectiveness of their equipment, training and exercise programs if a needs assessment process is
employed to help prioritize efforts.

The following four tasks of this document are intended to provide a process to conduct assessments
prior to establishment of program priorities aimed at improving jurisdictional domestic preparedness.

Tasks A, B, C and D are designed to provide the jurisdictions with a methodology and the
supporting tools to conduct a comprehensive risk assessment (a combination of threat, vulnerability,
and public health).  The risk assessment is designed to provide the necessary evaluation information
to establish priorities for the jurisdiction that will improve response capabilities to WMD terrorism
incidents.

                        Task A: Vulnerability Assessment

For:  All local jurisdictions participating in the OJP B FY99 State Domestic Preparedness Equipment
Support Program.

Overview: This vulnerability assessment is needed to benchmark the local  jurisdiction=s current
vulnerability profile with regard to a WMD terrorism incident as stated in the Office of Justice
Programs (OJP) FY 1999 State Domestic Preparedness Equipment Program.  This assessment is to
be retained by the jurisdiction and is not intended for submission to the state.

Assumptions:  There are two key assumptions that should be used as you proceed through the
Jurisdiction Vulnerability Assessment process.  They are:

        *       Use the concept of the Amost likely scenario@ occurring in your jurisdiction when
                completing the vulnerability assessments for each vulnerability assessment factor.
                The most likely scenario is one that is not the worst case but represents the most
                probable kind of WMD event that may occur in your jurisdiction based upon the
                unique infrastructure and their attractiveness to any potential terrorist elements or
                individuals as a lucrative target to attack.

        *       An attack against such a target (facility, site, system, or special event) within your
                jurisdiction would produce death, injuries, or infrastructure damage that would
                overwhelm the jurisdiction=s emergency response capabilities including any mutual
                aid agreements/assistance pacts.

STEP I - Formation of the Planning Team

Assembling the Planning Team: The first step is to assemble the jurisdiction planning team that
will have a working knowledge of the presence of the following categories of facilities, sites,
systems, and/or special events within your jurisdiction:

     Government Services              Transportation Centers                                  Electric Power,
                                                                                             Oil/Gas Storage
         Water Supply              Information/Communications                              Banking and Finance
     Emergency Services                       Public Health                                     Institutions
    Recreational Facilities            Commercial/Industrial                                  Miscellaneous
                                                 Facilities

It is recommended that the planning team represent law enforcement, fire services, EMS, HazMat,
public works, public health services, and emergency management at the local, state, and Federal
levels that would be affected or respond to an act of terrorism within a jurisdiction.

STEP II BB Compile a list of the Amost important@ facilities, sites, systems, or special event activities
that are present or take place within the jurisdiction.

Develop an all inclusive list of potential targets using the seven general categories of facilities, sites,
systems, and special events.  A list of potential targets is located at the appendix (found on page 15)
to this task.


                                                          6



                                        Forms in this document are not for submission



Using the initial all inclusive list, develop a priority list that will represent only the highest priority or
most critical facilities, sites, systems, or special events located or taking place within your
jurisdiction.

Example:  If you have 100 facilities within your jurisdiction select ten  (10% of 100) of them to
appear on your priority list of the most important.  If you have less than ten potential targets within
your jurisdiction, it is recommended that you assess all of them.

A facility, site, system, or special event selected for the priority list should meet the following
criteria:

        A facility, site, system, or venue within the jurisdiction that in the wake of a WMD incident
        would result in any or all of the following:
                    *  Large numbers of death and injuries
                    *  Extensive damage or destruction of facilities that provide or sustain human
                        needs, i.e., power sources, food distribution sites, essential public services, or
                    *  Causes long-term catastrophic consequences to the general local economic
                        well being of the community.

The planning team is now prepared to conduct an assessment of the vulnerability of these facilities,
sites, systems, and special events to possible WMD terrorism incidents according to the factors
presented in STEP III.

STEP III  - Conducting the Individual Target Vulnerability Assessment

The Seven Vulnerability Assessment Factors: The planning team may use the following seven
factors to assess the vulnerability of each individual site listed on your jurisdictional priority list:

             Level of Visibility              Criticality of Target                      Value of Target to Potential
                                                           Site                             Threat Element (PTE)
    Potential Threat Element                    Threat of Hazard                         Potential for Collateral Mass
   (PTE) Access to the Target                                                                      Casualty
                                           Site Population Capacity

The seven factors, their definitions, and associated rating are listed later in this section.  Use them as
a reference sheet for completing the Vulnerability Assessment Worksheets.

Complete a Vulnerability Assessment Worksheet for each individual critical target on your priority
list of potential targets according to the following instructions:

Note:  Copy the worksheet for each vulnerability assessment performed.
Note: This assessment is based upon the planning team=s overall qualitative judgment of each factor.
It is not a definitive quantitative assessment.

                                           Forms in this document are not for submission




*           Using the Vulnerability Assessment Factors  (found starting on page 9), select the rating
            value that most closely represents the facility, infrastructure, event, etc., for each of the seven
            vulnerability assessment factors.
*           Record these ratings in Table 2-a-1 of the Individual Target Vulnerability Assessment
            Worksheet for each factor assessed. Be sure to provide the information requested at the top
            of the worksheet.
*           Total the score for the seven rating factors values at the bottom of Table 2-a-1 at the Total
            Score box.
*           Compare the Total Score  of this potential target with the scale provided in the left  column
            of the Assessment Key at Table 2-a-2.
*           Match the Target Vulnerability Rating listed in the right column of the Assessment Key
            that falls within the numeric range of your Total Score.
*           Record this Target Vulnerability Rating in the Individual Target Vulnerability Rating
            box at Table 2-a-3.
*           Repeat the above steps until all facilities, infrastructure, events, etc, (priority target list) you
            selected (10% - most important) have been assessed.
*           After completing all of your Individual Target Vulnerability Assessments record the
            Individual Target Vulnerability Ratings on the Jurisdictional Individual Vulnerability
            Summary at Table 2-a-4.

STEP IV  BB Determine the Jurisdictional Vulnerability

            *          Enter the highest Individual Target Vulnerability Rating found in Table 2-a-4 into
                       Table 2-a-5.  This is your Jurisdiction Vulnerability Rating. Also record this
                       information on Table 2-d-2, Section 2, Tab d, Task D: Risk Assessment.

            *          Legal WMD (BNICE) Hazard Environment: Enter the total number of sites (as
                       described below) within the jurisdiction in each classification into Table 2-a-6. Also
                       record this information on Table 2-d-4, Section 2, Tab d, Task D: Risk Assessment.

       1.  Biological B Hazardous sites which transfer or receive selected agents listed in 42 CFR
                  Part 72.
       2.  Chemical B Hazardous sites which contain Tier II chemicals in either Title 40 or Title 49
                  CFR.
       3.  Incendiary/Explosive B Hazardous sites which manufacture, produce, or store in reportable
                  quantities incendiary and/or explosive materials as delineated in Title 18, USC and 27
                  CFR 55.
       4.  Nuclear/Radiological B Hazardous sites which contain radiological sources as described in
                  10 CFR 36 (Irradiators), 10 CFR 50 (Production and Utilization Facilities), 10 CFR 70
                  (Special Nuclear Material), DOE critical facilities, and any other nuclear storage sites.

Note:  The Individual Target Vulnerability Assessment Worksheet(s) and the Individual Target
Vulnerability Summary are to be retained by the jurisdiction.

Note:  The Individual Target Vulnerability Assessment Worksheet is marked  AFor Official Use
Only.@ The planning team should limit its distribution only to those government and private sector
officials taking part in this process or who have a professional need to know.

Note: BNICE is an acronym for Biological, Nuclear/Radiological, Incendiary, Chemical, Explosive
agents.

                              Task B:  Threat Assessment

A.    Assessment Overview

      For:  All local jurisdictions participating in the OJP-FY99 State Domestic Preparedness
      Equipment Support Program.

      Purpose:  In June 1995, President Clinton signed Presidential Decision Directive-39
      (PDD-39) which reaffirmed the FBI=s lead law enforcement and crisis management role in
      the U.S. Government=s response to domestic terrorism.   In May, 1998, the President signed
      PDD-62 which charged the United States Department of Justice (DOJ), acting through the
      Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), as lead agency for Federal operational response to a
      Weapons of Mass Destruction (WMD) incident.  Pursuant to both of these directives, the FBI
      is continuing to increase its involvement with state, local and Federal agencies who have both
      a crisis and consequence response role in responding to a WMD threat or incident.

      To address domestic terrorism prevention, response, and recovery efforts, it is necessary to
      assess the risk, capabilities, and ultimate needs of the state and local response to a terrorist
      incident.  This assessment process is the first step in ensuring nationwide preparedness.  The
      DOJ, through the OJP and FBI, has taken the lead in providing this assessment as mandated
      by the Defense Against Weapons of Mass Destruction Act of 1998, and as stated in the OJP
      FY 1999 State Domestic Preparedness Equipment Support Program. This WMD Terrorist
      Jurisdiction Threat Assessment has been developed as one portion of a larger vulnerability
      and risk assessment.  The entire process is intended to serve as a benchmark establishing the
      local  jurisdiction=s current risk profile as it pertains to a domestic WMD terrorism incident.
      The comparison of local risk and existing capabilities profiles may be used by the
      jurisdictions to identify and prioritize needs.

      Objective:  The following is a list of objectives of the assessment process.

      *  Promote interagency collaboration/coordination of criminal investigative intelligence
          information relating to WMD terrorism.
      *  Assess the threat to particular targets, enabling a jurisdiction to better focus its prevention
          and preparedness efforts, and also to enhance response capabilities.
      *  Identify the types of weapons of mass destruction likely to be produced and/or developed
          by the existing potential threats to better identify equipment and training needs necessary
          to respond to the particular types of hazards.

     Direction:  This assessment is to be completed by jurisdictions in coordination with the
     designated state agency for the State Domestic Preparedness Equipment Program.  Should
     the jurisdiction require assistance completing the assessment, it should coordinate with the
     designated state agency. It is recommended that the jurisdiction identify other pertinent local,
     state, and Federal law enforcement agencies to assist in the assessment process.  Once
     completed, the local jurisdiction must return the Jurisdiction Threat Profile to the designated
     state agency [also known as the State Administrative Agency (SAA).  The SAA will then
     forward the completed profile to OJP.

B. Introduction

      Terrorist events such as the World Trade Center bombing, the bombing of the Alfred P.
      Murrah Federal building in Oklahoma City, and the pipe bomb detonated at the Olympic
      Games in Atlanta revealed the United  States= increased susceptibility to terrorist assaults.
      These attacks, coupled with the March 1995 Tokyo subway attack, where the weapon was
      the chemical nerve agent sarin, exposed the threat of use of WMD within the United States.
      The United States is also experiencing an increased number of hoaxes involving the use of
      chemical or biological agents perpetrated by individuals wishing to instill fear and disrupt
      communities.  While a conventional attack using bombs/explosive devices has been the
      weapon of choice domestically, yesterday==s bomb threat may be replaced with a potential
      for more exotic biological or chemical threats.

      WMD cases, primarily those dealing with the threatened use or procurement of chemical
      and biological materials, have steadily increased as depicted in the following chart (*Data
      for 1999 through November 30, 1999; Source-FBI WMDOU):

With the threat of domestic WMD terrorist attacks on the rise, there is validity in evaluating
jurisdiction threat data to better identify potential terrorist targets and likely WMD hazards.
This information, coupled with target vulnerability analysis, is the most comprehensive
means by which to evaluate the risk of a WMD terrorist act.  The risk to a jurisdiction is then
measured against present capabilities to determine a jurisdiction=s needs.

Although threat information is deemed beneficial to the needs assessment process, it should
not be given undue weight.   There remains insufficient empirical data on domestic terrorist
activity to suggest a pattern of particular targeting of a specific region or city.   Furthermore,
threat conditions are dynamic, limiting accurate threat analysis to a specific moment in time.
Henceforth, it must be recognized that the identification of a particular threat is not an
absolute predictor that a terrorist incident will occur.  Nor should the absence of an identified
threat be construed as meaning that a terrorist incident is less likely to occur.

Nonetheless, the FBI believes that efforts to identify and analyze potential threats at the local
jurisdiction level is essential to the overall assessment process and promotes necessary
interagency collaboration of criminal investigative intelligence information relating to WMD
terrorism. The OJP Integrated Assessment Tool is not intended to take the place of traditional
threat and vulnerability analysis utilized by intelligence and law enforcement communities in
efforts to prevent, deter, and resolve acts of domestic terrorism. Traditional threat and
vulnerability analysis is far more comprehensive.  In contrast, the OJP assessment process
provides a simple methodology to assist states in  prioritizing program investments.   The

       OJP Integrated Assessment Tool provides a general profile of the threat, vulnerability, and
       risk environments of a jurisdiction, and is not to be considered an investigative tool for law
       enforcement purposes.

C.     Definitions

       For the purposes of this assessment the following definitions apply:

       Domestic Terrorism: The unlawful use, or threatened use, of force or violence by a group or
       individual based and operating entirely within the United States or Puerto Rico, without
       foreign direction, and whose acts are directed at elements of the U.S. Government or its
       population, in the furtherance of political or social goals.

       International Terrorism: The unlawful use of force or violence committed by a group or
       individual who has some connection to a foreign power or whose activities transcend national
       boundaries against persons or property, to intimidate or coerce a government, the civilian
       population, or any segment thereof, in furtherance of political or social objectives.

       Potential Threat Element (PTE): Any group or individual in which there are allegations or
       information indicating a possibility of the unlawful use of force or violence, specifically the
       utilization of a Weapon of Mass Destruction, against persons or property to intimidate or
       coerce a government, the civilian population, or any segment thereof, in furtherance of a
       specific motivation or goal, possibly political or social in nature.  Note: This definition
       provides sufficient predicate for the FBI to initiate an investigation.

       Weapons of Mass Destruction (Title 18 USC Section 2332a): (1) Any weapon or device
       that is intended, or has the capability, to cause death or serious bodily injury to a significant
       number of people through the release, dissemination, or impact of toxic or poisonous
       chemicals or their precursors; a disease organism; or radiation or radioactivity; (2)(A) Any
       explosive, incendiary, or poison gas, bomb, grenade, rocket having a propellant charge of
       more than four ounces, or a missile having an explosive or incendiary charge of more than
       one quarter ounce, or mine or device similar to the above; (B) poison gas; (C) any weapon
       involving a disease organism; or (D) any weapon that is designed to release radiation or
       radioactivity at a level dangerous to human life.

D.     Assessment Process

       The Jurisdiction Threat Assessment is designed to accomplish several goals, all using a
       process that encourages open lines of communication between Federal, state, and local
       agencies involved in public safety.  The assessment utilizes a pre-existing Department of
       Defense (DOD) terrorist threat analysis methodology to first identify and evaluate the threat
       level of each potential threat element (PTE) identified in your jurisdiction.   This
       methodology has been revised to meet the requirements of this assessment process.

The threat level of an existing PTE is determined on the basis of its past violent history;
intentions to commit a WMD act of terrorism; the capability to carry out a WMD act of
terrorism; and any targeting efforts aimed at achieving the specific terrorist act.  Each factor
is considered when assessing the potential for violent or destructive activity emanating from
a terrorist group.  However, the accuracy of such analysis is dependent on the availability of
intelligence-related information concerning a particular individual or group.  Small groups
and rogue individuals, whose activities are difficult to anticipate due to limited or nonexistent
intelligence information, represent an unpredictable but constant threat.

Threat Factors Defined:

Provided for purposes of consistency are the definitions to be applied for each threat factor:

$       Existence: The presence of a group or individual, operating within the jurisdiction in
        which there are allegations or information indicating a possibility of the unlawful use
        of force or violence, specifically the utilization of a WMD, against persons or
        property, to intimidate or coerce a government, the civilian population, or any
        segment thereof, in furtherance of a specific motivation or goal, possibly political or
        social in nature.

$       History: Demonstrated past terrorist activity over time or a recorded, violent criminal
        history.

$       Intentions: Credible advocacy/threats of force or violence, or acts, or preparations to
        act, evidencing the intent to create a WMD, or to carry out a plan to release a WMD,
        or to participate in a WMD incident.

$       Capability: Credible information that a specific PTE possesses the requisite training,
        skills, financial means, and access to resources necessary to develop, produce, or
        acquire a particular type of WMD in a quantity and/or potency sufficient to produce
        mass casualties, combined with information substantiating the PTE=s ability to safely
        store, test, and deliver the same. All these factors must be met before a group or
        individual can be justified as possessing the requisite capability necessary to
        implement a WMD attack.

$       Targeting: Credible information indicative of preparations for specific terrorist
        operations against identifiable targets within the subject jurisdiction. (Ex. Obtaining
        of specific floor plans of a target location  or  surveillance activities, etc.)

    Calculation of the PTE Threat Level: Each factor is assigned a corresponding numerical
    value based on the factor's perceived significance.  The threat level is quantified by adding up
    the values of all existing threat factors for each PTE.   A PTE's threat level may range from a
    low of  1 to a high of  10.    Below is a list of the threat factors and the corresponding point
    value:

To achieve the minimum measurable threat level, a jurisdiction  must find that a PTE "exists"
within the context of the required definition.  This definition of the PTE was designed to
correlate with the FBI==s definitional threshold required to initiate a criminal
investigation.  Compared to the large number of jurisdictions covered in this
assessment, the number of current FBI WMD terrorist investigations where PTEs have
been identified is relatively low.  Past threat incidents, where resolution resulted in the
cessation of PTE should not be included in this portion of the threat level assessment.   The
threat assessment requires the current Aexistence@ of PTEs operating within the assessing
jurisdiction.  Past WMD terrorist threat incidents are addressed separately.

The Threat Assessment Working Group should further note that if a threat level  of  A5@ or
above is achieved for any PTE, the situation may likely require immediate action by law
enforcement agencies and/or the emergency response community.  This is because the
capability to produce or develop a WMD and the intent to implement a WMD terrorist act
has been established.  The threat increases in significance when the PTE is deemed to possess
the capability and the requisite intent to carry out a WMD attack.  If the existence of a WMD
is confirmed  or  intelligence and circumstances indicate a high probability that a device
exists, the threat has developed into a WMD incident as defined in the Federal Response
Plan.  This requires an immediate response to identify, acquire, and plan the use of Federal
assistance to state and local authorities in response to the potential consequences of the
terrorist use or employment of  the WMD.  Therefore, timely notification and coordination
with the FBI is essential.

PTE Target Evaluation:
Recognizing the motivation(s) of the PTEs will enable the assessment working group to more
accurately assess the relative threats to specific and/or general categories of jurisdiction
targets. For purposes of this assessment, five general motivator categories have been
established, along with types of targets historically associated with each motivator.    This list
is provided as a general guide and is in no way is meant to limit the identification of other
targets that the assessment group may deem equally critical:

PTE Weapon Evaluation:

For purposes of this assessment,  AWeapons of Mass Destruction@ have been broken down into
five distinct categories, i.e. biological, nuclear/radiological, incendiary, chemical, and
explosive devices. Matching a PTE=s threat level with the PTE=s assessed capability to carry
out a terrorist attack while employing one or more types of WMD is a necessary step in
predicting which WMD(s) will be of most concern to a given jurisdiction.

Historical Data:

Past threat incidents, where resolution resulted in the cessation of PTE operations, or
incidents that were later determined to be hoaxes, are important factors when assessing the
needs of a given jurisdiction. Areas that have experienced a higher than average number of
threat incidents where assets were expended in response to these events should be
recognized.  Therefore, this information is collected as part of the jurisdiction=s threat and
risk assessment profiles.

E.     Assessment Instructions

       [STEP ONE] Formation of the Threat Assessment Working Group:
       The first step is to assemble a Threat Assessment Working Group.  The key is to review and
       evaluate threat information known to other Federal, state, and local organizations that
       possess such information.  If your jurisdiction is a member of a FBI Joint Terrorism Task
       Force or a Joint Terrorism Working Group, this would be the appropriate venue for the
       assessment process, especially in light of the pre-clearance to review sensitive information
       and the FBI=s participation in each group.  If no Joint Terrorism Task Force or Joint
       Terrorism Working Group exists in your jurisdiction, coordinate your efforts with the FBI
       WMD coordinator(s) assigned to your jurisdiction.  Federal, state and local jurisdictions
       need to share and compare information on a continuing basis during and well after the
       completion of this assessment.

       The FBI WMD coordinators, having been briefed on this process, stand ready to assist and
       will review the assessments to ensure that they are consistent with any intelligence known at
       the Federal level.  However, the FBI WMD coordinators may or may not be in a position to
       physically participate in the assessment process at each jurisdiction level.  If no FBI
       representation is readily available in your jurisdiction, look to a member of your law
       enforcement community to gather officials of other law enforcement agencies to participate
       in the assessment process.  In other areas there are existing criminal intelligence consortiums
       that can be used for comparison and validation.  There is much valuable, unclassified
       information that will benefit the assessment on the Internet, in publications, and in the media.

       As this information will be of a sensitive nature, it is suggested that only individuals privy to
       such information as a part of their routine responsibilities be allowed to participate. It must
       also be recognized that legal and operational constraints associated with the collection and
       sharing of certain criminal intelligence information exists.  Therefore, it is understood that
       situations will occur where ongoing investigations cannot be disclosed.  It is further
       understood that for purposes of avoiding any legal issues, certain restrictions do apply.

       In order to protect the integrity and confidentiality of sensitive intelligence information on
       specific groups or individuals, and in order to comply with certain legal principles and
       privacy laws circumscribing the collection, maintenance, and dissemination of intelligence
       on individuals or groups who may be identified as a PTE, no specific identity of the PTEs
       evaluated in the assessment process will be included in the information forwarded to the
       designated state agency. Since this process is focused on determining training and equipment
       needs and is not intended as an intelligence-gathering tool, such information is not necessary
       to the process.  However, for audit purposes, a jurisdiction should be prepared to justify its
       responses.   After this information is submitted to the designated state agency, FBI WMD
       coordinators assigned to the state will review the rolled-up data for consistency with existing
       information files.




                                             FOR OFFICIAL USE ONLY
             Distribution authorized to pre-designated Government agencies (Federal, State, and Local) and their contractors.
                                                   Public dissemination is prohibited
                       Unauthorized reproduction/dissemination may result in civil and/or criminal liability.

                                                                   24

[STEP TWO] Complete the Jurisdiction Threat Worksheet (PART F):
The Jurisdiction Threat Worksheet (PART F) is to be completed by the assessment working
group. Record all relevant information onto the Jurisdiction Threat Worksheet.  The
Jurisdiction Threat Worksheet will be used to complete the Jurisdiction Threat Profile
(PART G).  The Jurisdiction Threat Profile is the only portion of the threat assessment to be
forwarded to the designated state agency.

Dissemination of the Jurisdiction Threat Worksheet is restricted in order to protect the
integrity and confidentiality of sensitive intelligence information, and in order to
comply with certain legal principles and privacy laws circumscribing the collection,
maintenance, and dissemination of intelligence on individuals or groups who may be
identified as a potential threat element (PTE), as defined in Part C of this document.

[STEP THREE] Complete the Jurisdiction Threat Profile (PART G):
The Jurisdiction Threat Profile (PART G) will constitute the returnable portion of the
assessment to the designated state agency.  Begin the Jurisdiction Threat Profile by
answering the preliminary questionnaire.   Thereafter, utilize the information recorded on the
Jurisdiction Threat Worksheet, Table 2-b-4,  to complete Tables 2-b-7 through 2-b-8 of the
profile.   Once the profile is complete, return it to your assessment coordinator.   Retain a
copy for your records.

[STEP FOUR] Complete the Jurisdiction Risk Assessment Profile:
Submit the Threat Assessment Profile (Part G) to the jurisdiction for integration into the Risk
Assessment Profile.

             F.  JURISDICTION THREAT WORKSHEET
Task  I: Identify no more than 15 PTEs operating in your jurisdiction.  It is important to note that the
number of PTEs identified does not affect the jurisdiction=s risk factor. Only the PTE with the highest
threat level is considered in the risk factor equation.  Follow the instructions below to complete the
Jurisdiction Threat Worksheet.

A.      EVALUATE THE PRESENCE OF EACH THREAT FACTOR: Evaluate each threat
        factor (Existence, Capability, Intentions, History, and Targeting) attributable to each PTE
        identified in your jurisdiction.  For each PTE, identify the threat factor(s) whose presence has
        been established, and record the corresponding numerical value in the appropriate threat
        factor column to the right of the PTE on the Jurisdiction Threat Worksheet (examples are
        provided). The assessment working group should only consider factors where information
        concerning the PTE has satisfied the definitional standards of the threat factors previously set
        forth in this assessment.  If the intelligence information does not meet those standards or the
        information is not deemed credible, then the respective threat factor cannot be justified to
        exist and must be left blank.

B.      CALCULATE THE THREAT LEVEL OF EACH PTE: Add the corresponding point
        values of each threat factor whose presence has been established and insert the value in the
        AThreat Level@ column for each PTE.  The corresponding point values are listed under each
        threat factor at the top of the Jurisdiction Threat Worksheet.  Threat levels may range from
        one to ten.

C.      IDENTIFY THE MOTIVATION(S) OF EACH PTE: If  one or more motivators are
        established for a PTE, list the particular motivator(s) associated with the corresponding PTE
        under the AMotivation@ column in the Jurisdiction Threat Worksheet.

D.      IDENTIFY THE WMD CAPABILITY OF EACH PTE: For each PTE assessed to
        have the capability to produce or develop a WMD, identify the particular type(s) of
        WMD.  List these WMD types in the far right column of the Jurisdiction Threat
        Worksheet.  List only capabilities that have been substantiated.  The mere threat to
        utilize a WMD of a certain type, or an assertion that the capability exists is not
        sufficient.

The Jurisdiction Threat Worksheet is not for dissemination outside the assessing jurisdiction.
Identities of the PTEs are for law enforcement purposes only and should not be shared
outside of the Threat Assessment Working Group.

The attached Public Health Assessment Instrument for Public Health Preparedness will assist you
in determining the ability of your State and/or Local Public Health System to rapidly and
effectively respond to biological and chemical agents, as well as other acute public health
emergencies.

This instrument was developed as a collaborative effort of the Bioterrorism Preparedness and
Response Program, National Center for Infectious Diseases, Centers For Disease Control and
Prevention (CDC); the National Public Health Performance Standards Program, Public Health
Practice Program Office, CDC; and the Emergency Preparedness and Response Branch, National
Center For Environmental Health, CDC;  with the full collaboration of other CDC Centers,
Institutes and Offices having public health  bioterrorism preparedness and response
responsibilities. Our public health constituency partners at the national, state, and local levels
include the National Association of County and City Health Officials (NACCHO), the
Association of State and Territorial Health Officials (ASTHO), and the Council of State and
Territorial Epidemiologists (CSTE).  They have all been actively involved in the development of
this tool and implementation plan.

In addition, this instrument is part of a Office of State and Local Domestic Preparedness Support,
Office of Justice Programs, Department of Justice national project to develop an integrated
statewide assessment of emergency response activities.  The Department of Justice requested
assistance from CDC to include a public health component for this overall survey instrument.

We believe that this will be is an excellent opportunity for you to determine your public health
system=s capability to respond.  We strongly encourage you to complete this assessment in your
local jurisdictions following the regional training sessions (to be held over the next few months
by the Department of Justice and their assessment partners).  Your inputs and feedback will be
invaluable.  CDC and its public health partners look forward to working with you as we
collaborate to improve our nation=s public health capacity to respond to the threat of bioterrorism
and other public health emergencies.

Sincerely,


Scott R. Lillibridge , M.D.                                         Paul Halverson, Dr.P.H.

       Public Health Performance Assessment - Emergency Preparedness

A.  Public Health and the Department of Justice Assessment Process

In order to assess the baseline of readiness to respond to the threat of biological, chemical and
radiological emergencies, CDC, in collaboration with public health partners has developed the
attached public health emergency preparedness assessment instrument. This tool is
integrated with the threat assessment tool developed by the FBI and the risk, capabilities, and
needs assessment instruments developed for the US Department of Justice.  These instruments
together form an integrated assessment instrument for state and local jurisdictions.

The public health assessment is organized according to the ten essential services of public health
which were developed in 1994 by representatives of ASTHO, NACCHO, the Institute of
Medicine, the Association of Schools of Public Health, the Public Health Foundation, the
National Association of State Alcohol and Drug Abuse Directors, National Association of State
Mental Health Program Directors, and the U.S. Public Health Service
(http://web.health.gov/phfunctions/public.htm).

The terms local public health system (LPHS) and local public health agency (LPHA) are used
frequently in the assessment.

The local public health system (LPHS) is the collection of public and private organizations
contributing to public health at the local level.  In some cases, organizations headquartered
outside the local jurisdiction may be included in the LPHS if these organizations contribute to
public health at the local level.  The contribution need not be permanent or ongoing, so long as it
contributes to public health at the local level. Components of the LPHS may include:


*  Governmental entities--including local public health agency (LPHA) or department,
    board of health, local or regional branch of state health department bearing responsibility for
    the delivery of any public health service to the jurisdiction
*  Hospitals serving the jurisdiction
*  Managed care organizations serving the jurisdiction
*  Clinics and physicians serving the jurisdiction
*  Social service providers
*  Civic organizations providing public health services to the jurisdiction
*  Professional organizations providing public health services to the jurisdiction
*  Local businesses providing public health services to the jurisdiction
*  Neighborhood organizations providing public health services to the jurisdiction
*  Faith institutions providing public health services to the jurisdiction
*  Transportation providers providing public health services to the jurisdiction
*  Educational institutions providing public health services to the jurisdiction
*  Public safety and emergency response agencies and organizations
*  Environmental or environmental-health agencies
*  Non-profit organizations/advocacy groups providing public health services to the
    jurisdiction

The local public health agency (LPHA) may vary in different jurisdictions, but usually includes the local
health department, local board of health, and/or other local governmental entity designed to provide public
health services to the jurisdiction.

In many communities, the LPHA is one of many participants--although a major player--in the LPHS. The
State may provide services, which comprise a part of the local public health system.  These concepts should
be discussed by the team that will complete the assessment instrument.

B.  Completing the Assessment

1.  Defining the jurisdiction - The jurisdiction under assessment may be a city, a county, multiple counties, a
    metropolitan area or a region.  All are acceptable for assessment purposes.  To facilitate analysis, please
    provide a list of all geographic areas included in the surveyed jurisdiction.

2.  Identifying the team of respondents - A single person or organization will not be able to adequately
    complete the assessment. During pilot testing, the instrument was best completed when the head of the
    local public health agency assembled a team from the LPHS who represented the range of services
    required to respond to public health emergencies.  As guidance, we highly recommend that
    representatives from: the local public health agencies, hospitals, emergency medical services; fire
    department, law enforcement, media and others involved in local emergency planning, be involved in the
    completion of the assessment.  Page three of the assessment instrument contains a sign-up sheet for those
    person participating in the assessment.

3.  Answering the questions B We have tried to make all questions answerable with a definite YES or NO.
    However, there will be certain questions that respondents may be uncertain how to answer.  Respondents
    should answer YES to any question that is partially met.

C. Overview of Capabilities of Local Public Health Jurisdiction

The set of questions on page 35 titled `Overview  of Capabilities of Local Public Health Jurisdiction' are
a set of consensus indicators frequently used for measuring community-level public health capacity.
Because these indicators have been used in prior assessments of public health performance, completing this
survey in addition to the public health emergency preparedness assessment instrument will contribute to the
science-base of performance measurement in public health practice.

Task D: Integration of Jurisdiction Vulnerability, Threat
                        and Public Health Assessments
For: All local jurisdictions participating in the OJP ­ FY99 State Domestic Preparedness Equipment
Support Program.

Overview: The final step in the jurisdiction risk assessment process is to integrate results of the
Jurisdiction Vulnerability Assessment (Task A), the Jurisdiction Threat Assessment (Task B ), and
the Jurisdiction Public Health Assessment (Task C) to assess the overall level of risk for the
jurisdiction (See Figure 2-3 below).  This level of risk is referred to as the Jurisdiction Risk Rating.
The results of this assessment process are recorded on the Jurisdiction Risk Assessment Profile.
This profile consolidates jurisdiction risk information and is submitted to the designated state agency.

                                         Section 3
                  Capabilities and Needs Assessment
Brief Description of the Process:

Jurisdictions are requested to conduct a three-step WMD capabilities and needs
assessment of their emergency responders= (Fire Services, HazMat, EMS, Law
Enforcement, Public Works, and Public Health) ability to respond to a WMD incident.

The purpose of these capabilities and needs assessments is to assist jurisdictions in
identifying equipment, training, exercises, and technical assistance they need to enhance
their capability to respond to WMD incidents.  It will also be used by your state in the
preparation of a three-year statewide domestic preparedness strategy, as required by the
FY 1999 State Domestic Preparedness Equipment Support Program.

There are three macro steps in this assessment process.  These three steps are described
below:

STEP 1: Conduct a Arequired response capabilities@ assessment of your existing
emergency responders= capabilities based on the operational imperative of properly
equipping, training and exercising these assets to:
          $     Respond to a WMD incident in a safe and effective manner and,
          $     Perform emergency responder Aduties and functions@ as specified in your
                jurisdiction=s emergency or WMD response plans.
          $     Table 3-1, Required Response Capabilities, is provided to record the
                results for this assessment

STEP 2: Conduct a Acurrent response capabilities@ assessment of your existing
emergency responders= capabilities to respond to a WMD incident, based upon existing
levels of equipment, training and exercises.  Table 3-2, Current Response Capabilities,
is provided to record the results for this assessment.

STEP 3: Compare the results of your assessments of Arequired response capabilities@ in
Step 1 to your assessment of Acurrent response capabilities@ in Step 2.  This comparison
will allow you to define your Aresponse needs@ (shortfalls or gaps) that must be attained
in order to enhance your jurisdiction=s capabilities to the necessary levels to respond to a
WMD incident in a safe and effective manner.  Table 3-3, Current and Required Tier
Level Capabilities, is provided to record the results for this assessment.

These Aresponse needs@ (shortfalls or gaps) provide performance goals for your
emergency responders that can be translated into a three-year equipment, training, and
exercise plan needed to reach your Arequired operational capabilities@ in the year 2001.

STEP 1: Required Tier Level Capability Assessments

1A.  Required Response Capabilities:
    Using Table 3-1 below, list the required response capabilities of your emergency
    responders to operate in response to a WMD incident or in a hazardous materials
    emergency as required by existing jurisdiction plans and operating procedures.  Use the
    Sample Response Capabilities for Emergency Responders at Tab a of this section to assist
    you.

    Required response capabilities should address duties and functions in the following four
    areas: personal protection, detection, decontamination, and communications capabilities as
    well as any other key functional capabilities performed in WMD or other emergency
    circumstances.

    Required response capabilities are defined as those duties and functions in which
    emergency responders must be proficient.  The emergency responder must be able to
    perform all assigned duties and functions in a safe and effective manner in a WMD
    environment, according to jurisdictional emergency response plans and procedures.

1B.  Required Tier Level Capability

    Using Table 3-1 you are ready to proceed to the second part of this step.

    Assess the Tier Level Arequired@ of your emergency responders (Fire Service, HazMat,
    EMS, Law Enforcement, Public Works, and Public Health) to respond to a WMD incident
    as you have listed them in Table 3-1. Refer to the definitions of ATier Levels@ as provided
    in OJP Capability Tier Levels (Tab b) and Tier Level Competency Information (Tab c).

    After determining the ATier Level@ required of your respective emergency response
    elements, enter an AAO@@ adjacent to that Tier Level in Table 3-3, located at the end of  this
    section.

    The required capability Tier Levels depicted by these AAOs@ will identify and assist in the
    development of jurisdictional needs for equipment, training, exercises, and other areas you
    plan to attain by the end of FY 2001.

    Proceed to Step 2 to assess the ACurrent Tier Level Capabilities@ of jurisdictional first
    responder capabilities.

STEP 2: Current Tier Level Capability Assessments

2A.  Current Response Capabilities:

Using Table 3-2 below, assess your Acurrent@ emergency response capabilities. A sample
response capabilities assessment tool is provided in Tab a.

Capability assessments should consider the types of equipment, such as personal protection,
detection, decontamination, and communications equipment, first responders require in order to
respond to a WMD incident.

Current response capabilities are defined as those duties and functions which  emergency
responders are proficient in at this time.  The emergency responder must be able to perform all
these assigned duties and functions in a safe and effective manner in a WMD environment,
according to jurisdictional emergency response plans and procedures.

      2B.  Tier Level of Current Capability:

      Using Table 3-2, you are ready to proceed to the second part of this step.

      Determine the Acurrent@ Tier Level for emergency response (Fire Service, HazMat, EMS,
      Law Enforcement, Public Works, and Public Health) to a WMD incident.  Refer to (Tab
      b) and (Tab c) of this section to complete your determination.

                                       Forms in this document are not for submission


After determining the current  ATier Level@ for your respective emergency response elements,
enter an AAX@@ adjacent to that Tier Level in Table 3-3, located at the end of  this section.

The current capability Tier Levels depicted by these AAXs@ will identify and assist in the
development of jurisdictional needs for equipment, training, exercises, and other areas you plan
to attain by the end of FY 2001.

The information displayed in Table 3-3 will allow jurisdictions to identify gaps in jurisdictional
response capabilities.  Using this information, proceed to Step 3 to assess the AResponse Needs
(Shortfalls or Gaps) for Operating Safely and Effectively in a WMD Environment@ for
jurisdictional first responders.  In this step, you will determine the needs (shortfalls or gaps) that
exist for equipment, training, exercises, and in other areas.  The resulting difference between
Acurrent operating@ and Arequired operating@ capabilities should equate to gaps in equipment,
training, and exercise needs.  State projections for equipment, training, exercise technical
assistance needs should incrementally, over a three-year period, address how this funding and
other program resources provided by OJP/OSLDPS, will be used to fill existing gaps.

                                     Forms in this document are not for submission


STEP 3: Response  Needs (Shortfalls or Gaps) for Operating Safely and
Effectively in a WMD Environment

When you have response capability needs (shortfalls or gaps), refer to the Tier Level
Capability Information (Tab c) under the columns for AAssociated Equipment@ and ASupporting
Training Courses.@  Use this information as a guide in identifying your needs to enhance
response capabilities to the required levels over the three year period - FY99, FY00 and FY01.

Once equipment shortfalls (By equipment item) and training shortfalls (by course) have been
identified, calculate the quantities of equipment and training courses needed to increase tier
level response capabilities to meet required response operating capabilities in FY01.

Examples of equipment which can be funded through the OJP/OSLDPS equipment grant
program and are provided  in the FY99 OJP Authorized Equipment Purchase List (See
Appendix E, FY 1999 State Domestic Preparedness Equipment Program, Program
Guidelines and Application Kit).  A listing of preparedness courses available to meet your
training needs for WMD is found in the Compendium of Federally Conducted WMD Courses
(Tab d).

Forms for recording the current status and projections for FY99, FY00 and FY01 for
equipment, training, exercises, and other requirements are provided in Section 5.  Your
designated state agency will provide instructions on the media and format for submission of this
information to the state.

Summary

This simple three-step process should provide you with the analytical basis to develop and
justify a three-year equipment, training, and exercise plan which enhances your WMD response
capabilities.

                                 Capability TIER Levels

Tier One (Baseline Capability Level): This category is described as the basic level of equipment and
operational capabilities that jurisdictions require to conduct certain defensive operations to perform in
a contaminated environment. This can be generally defined as "Basic HazMat Equipment Capability
Level." This level will be evidenced by Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA 29
CFR 1910.120 levels) certification, which agencies must meet to operate in hazardous environments,
and by the certification, which agencies must meet to operate in hazardous environments, and by the
status of current operations-level training. In these instances, applicants should know when to take self-
protective measures and when to take steps to protect the general population from further
contamination. The ability to make on-scene assessments and call for mutual aid, as needed, is also
consistent with the requirements at this tier level.

Tier Two (Hazardous Materials Operations Capability Level): In addition to meeting the
requirements set forth in Tier One, the Tier Two level will require the applicant to meet a hazardous
materials equipment capability need, and to have the requisite personnel trained and certified in
accordance with OSHA. This can be generally defined as a "Modest Increase in HazMat Equipment
Capability Level." This level will usually involve equipment needed for hazardous materials teams that
are appropriately trained for using personal protective equipment (PPE) and are highly competent in
using advanced personal protective measures and hazard mitigation techniques. They will have the
ability to implement evacuation measures, use decontamination and basic detection equipment,
perform basic life support functions, and be able to recognize and preserve crime scene functions. This
level will also require teams/individuals to know how to operate in a unified command environment.

Tier Three (Technicians Capability Level): This can be generally defined as a "Moderate Increase in
HazMat Equipment Capability Level." Applicants will have achieved the capabilities set forth in each
of the previous two tier levels and meet or surpass the standards associated with Tier Three. As such,
emergency responders will have the necessary equipment and have advanced knowledge of operations
to carry out personal protective measures, initiate advanced detection and monitoring techniques,
demonstrate a capability to establish mass casualty decontamination systems, provide medical triage,
and set up a transport system for definitive medical care. Applicants will also have the ability to use
safe sampling techniques in contaminated areas and sufficient levels of expertise to conduct hazard
mitigation operations in contaminated areas.

Tier Four (Advanced Operations and Technicians Capability Level): This can be generally defined
as a "High Level of HazMat Equipment Capability Level." Applicants who have met or surpassed the
equipment requirements associated with the capabilities found in Tiers One, Two, and Three will meet

or surpass all emergency response equipment requirements for their jurisdiction. In this case, states can
then request equipment that may give them an added level of capability that would allow them to
operate unhindered without equipment shortfalls in any number of environments affected by weapons
of mass destruction (i.e., chemical, biological, and improvised explosive and incendiary devices).

Instructions: Technical Assistance (TA) is the direct assistance to state and local jurisdictions to
improve capabilities for program development, planning, and operational performance related to
response to WMD terrorism incidents. These forms are to be used for state roll-up and submission to
OSLDPS with the statewide domestic preparedness strategy. They can also be used by the
jurisdiction for input to the state.  The main types of TA are: Develop/Update Response Plans,
Develop/Sustain Three-year Strategy, Identify additional Available Resources, Conduct Risk and
Needs Assessments, Identify Latest Technology/Training, Develop Standardized Equipment List,
Training on Maintenance and Use of Equipment, Develop Response Protocols, and assist with
Emergency Services Organizational Assessments.

STATE: First, based on jurisdictional projections, provide a current status roll-up of scheduled and
funded TA in the format shown on the first chart on the following page (Current Status of
Technical Assistance).,. Second, based on jurisdictional projections, provide a required status roll-
up of TA in the format shown on the second chart on the following page (Required Status of
Technical Assistance). Third, project the shortfall or gap between "current" and "required" TA.
This forms the basis for state three-year projections in TA. Project TA requirements for funding
years FY 99, FY 00, and FY 01 (use the last chart on the following page, Technical Assistance
Projections for FY__).  Complete one projection matrix per fiscal year. Using jurisdictional
assessment information, provide the names of the jurisdiction that will use the requested TA.

JURISDICTION: First, identify your "current status" of TA (that TA already scheduled and
funded) within the jurisdiction using the first form on the following page (Current Status of
Technical Assistance). This is information developed from the "Current Response Capabilities"
assessment, Section 2, Table 3-2.  Second, identify the types of TA necessary for the performance of
tasks required in jurisdictional response plans and procedures. This is information developed from
the "Required Response Capabilities" assessment, Section 2, Table 3-1. Enter this on the middle
chart on the following page, Required Status of Technical Assistance). Third, the shortfall or gap
between "current" and "required" TA is the basis for the jurisdictional three-year projection. Project
the TA  requested over the funding years FY 99, FY 00, and FY 01. Complete one projection matrix,
Technical Assistance for FY__, per fiscal year.
