ICOR Presents: ISO/TC 223 Societal Security

International Standardization Aimed atIncreasing Crisis and Continuity Management

Capabilities and Awareness in Order to Improve the Resilience of Society

ISO/TC 223: Early Beginnings

©2012 ICOR ALL RIGHTS RESERVED 2

ISO/TC 223 got its start with the sinking of the Russian submarine Kursk in the Barents Sea in Sept. 2000.

The international community lacked the tools necessary to cooperate effectively in emergency situations, resulting in an initiative from the Russian standards organization, GOST, to establish ISO/TC 223.

From “Civil Defence” to “Societal Security”

In 2001, originally titled, “Civil Defence” with the intention to standardize emergency procedures

After the 9/11 attacks as well as a surge in natural disasters, ISO conducted an assessment in 2005 to begin in earnest and renamed it “Societal Security” to broaden its approach from just “Civil”


Early Optimism & Resulting Challenges

Build on 5 major works in emergency management from Australia, Israel, Japan, UK, and USA

ISO/PAS 22399:2007 Societal security – Guideline for Incident Preparedness and Operational Continuity Management

However – none of the countries wanted to use the new standard in replacement of their national standards…


To what extent are countries prepared to relinquish their own solutions in search for common ground?

ISO/TC 223 Societal Security - Restarted

Technical Committee formed by ISO in

2008 in the area of Societal Security

Aim to increase crisis management and business continuity capabilities through improved

• Technical,

• Human,

• Organizational, and

• Functional interoperability as well as

• Shared situational awareness

ISO/TC 223 Societal Security

TC 223 develops standards for the protection of society from, and in response to, incidents, emergencies and disasters caused by intentional and unintentional human acts, natural hazards and technical failures.

Its all-hazards perspective covers adaptive, proactive and reactive strategies in all phases before, during and after a disruptive incident.

The area of societal security is multi-disciplinary and involves actors from both the public and private sectors.

An emphasis on developing deliverables that will contribute to improving the resilience of society



ISO/TC 223 aspires to answer how individuals, organizations, communities and society can

Anticipate, prevent, prepare for, respond to and recover from disruptive events potentially resulting in an incident, emergency, crisis or disaster

Protect assets (human, physical, intangible and environmental) from disruptive events

Identify, assess, and leverage their capacity and capabilities to withstand disruptive events.



ISO/TC 223 provides tools to enhance

capacity and demonstrate improved

performance through:

Standardization for the prevention and management of disruptive events

Standardization to promote collaboration and coordination of incident identification, response and recovery

Standardization for the design, deployment and evaluation of technical capabilities.



Approximately 45 countries are participating with 17 others observing. At this time there are six work groups working on the following initiatives:1. Framework Standard on Societal Security

Management

2. Terminology

3. Emergency Management

4. Preparedness & Continuity

5. Video Surveillance

6. Mass Evacuation

Within each Work Group are different Project Teams that work on specific standards.

ISO 22311: Video Surveillance -Export Interoperability


ISO 22311: Video Surveillance -Export Interoperability

Purpose of the Standard: Video-

surveillance is a crucial asset in intelligence

collection, crime prevention, crisis

management, and forensic applications, etc.

The minimum requirement in societal security is for the authorities to be able to rapidly use the data collected by different CCTV systems from given locations.


Video Surveillance-Export Interoperability

Provides an export interoperability profile

which constitutes the exchange format and

minimum technical requirements that ensure

that the digital video-surveillance contents

exported

Are compatible with the replay systems,

Establish an appropriate level of quality and

Contain all the context information (metadata) necessary for their processing.


Video Surveillance-Export Interoperability

It is crucial for societal security that present

and future video-surveillance systems

implement this interface to allow efficient

forensic processing of the material

produced, often in massive quantities.

This standard also contains provisions to

ensure that citizen privacy measures can be

implemented.


Video-Surveillance Systems Generic Architecture

A CCTV system usually consists of hardware, software and human elements.

A CCTV system for security applications presented as functional blocks, which portray the various parts and functions of the system, as well as the interactions with the human stakeholders


The Following Graphics are Provided

Functional blocks of a CCTV system for security applications

Generic files organization

Structure of the Audio-Video Package XML description and integration in the folder

Arrangement of the XML Descriptor

Arrangement of the descriptive metadata

Sensor metadata items

Event metadata items


Minimum Requirements for Interoperability

The implementation of this standard shall be such that widely available OS independent tools will allow for minimal processing of received standard files by societal security organizations, ensuring as a minimum the following and any combination thereof:

Videos and metadata display;

Direct access to the metadata without display of the videos;

Selection of content time slots;

Access to the sources defined by name or scene-location.

Governments and Emergency Management

Agencies have a duty to prepare to

evacuate areas in readiness for major

catastrophic incidents.

There is no template for the assessment of

the plans for mass evacuation.

Plans are developed using different

assumptions, relying on different data, and

are often specific to immediate hazards

rather than being broad in scope.



Purpose: To develop a framework against

which planners can assess their planning for

mass evacuation.

The framework will allow planners identify how well developed are their plans and where additional resources might add value.

The content of the standard will, in part, be informed by a 10-country, 3 year EU project on how countries prepare for mass evacuation.



Covers 6 planning activities:

1. Preparing the public to evacuate;

2. Understanding the evacuation zone;

3. Making evacuation decisions;

4. Disseminating the warning message;

5. Evacuating pedestrians and traffic; and

6. Shelter management.



Will specify a consistent structure to plan for

mass evacuation for a range of risks.

Will cover the following tasks

Analyzing evacuation situations,

Preparing,

Training & exercising,

A common framework for debriefing/assessing response.

ISO 22322: Public Warning



Purpose: Effective incident response needs structured and pre-planned public warning which is the message broadcasted by organizations dealing with societal security tasks to ensure safety and security of the public and the vital functions of society.

Public warning consists of alert message and notification message.

It is necessary to establish a framework risk identification, hazard monitoring, decision making, warning dissemination and evaluation.



All organizations which are responsible for contributing to or issuing a public warning

Should be aware of the system so that relevant, accurate, reliable, and timely information will be disseminated promptly (who);

Should take continuous efforts to raise and maintain public awareness about the process of public warning (to whom);

Should use all available means and technologies systematically and redundantly to ensure the highest quality of information (how);

Should specify the following four elements for safety action: when, where, what hazard, and how to cope with (what).

Measuring & Building Adaptive Capacity


What is Organizational Resilience?


Organizational resilience is the adaptive capacity adaptive capacity adaptive capacity adaptive capacity of

an organization in a complex and changing

environment.

ISO 22300

o Planning and decision-taking in order to build and sustain the adaptive capacity

of an organization in complex and rapidly changing circumstances;

o Achieving the agile treatment of a broad range of risks uniquely applicable to each organization; and

o Creating a culture that takes full advantage of adaptive change to meet its objectives and aims.

Benefits of Enhanced Resilience

Organizations with adaptive

cultures, innovative thinkers and inner

strength thrive in the face of unpredictable

markets. As such, building resilience has

daily business benefits.

Resilience Objectives


An organization accepts that adversity may cause it to cease operating

Exist in a reduced form after adversity

Regain pre-adversity position quickly and effectively

Improve aspects of its functioning so that it not only survives but possibly gains from event

Focus on Protection, Performance & Adaptation


Protection of

business systems.

These systems

need to be robust

enough to survive

various assaults

and/or intrusions.

Adaptation is

required when

circumstances

change, demanding

a change in the

business focus,

structure and

processes.

Performance

refers to the need

to get things right

the first time and

to move quickly to

correct errors.

Behaviors that Support Resilience


Open Communication: Communicate as openly and regularly as possible with all concerned stakeholders.

Honesty: Staff need to know that when they receive information it is truthful.

Authenticity: Do what you say. There must be alignment between the purpose and values of the

organization and what they do.

Deep Knowledge & Expertise: Extensive

training and exercises. Succession planning around key roles.

The Principles Model of Resilience

Resilience is an outcome

Resilience is not a static trait

Resilience is not a single trait

Resilience is multi-dimensional

Resilience exists over a range of conditions

Resilience is founded upon good risk management
