CERRA Framework

The mission of emergency services is to save lives, protect property and the environment, assist communities impacted by disasters, and aid recovery during emergencies. You are the emergency manager in a city with a population of 250,000 in the northeastern United States. The fire chief has asked you to draft a briefing for the new fire service recruits explaining the fire department’s responsibility to protect critical infrastructure using the Crisis Event Response Recovery Access (CERRA) framework.
Which of the 3 key infrastructures in your community will be addressed in this exercise?
For each Access Level 1-4, identify which additional resources would need to be employed to assist your fire department during each phase of the response.
Address ways in which these additional resources’ access and re-entry will be managed throughout the incident response.
Explain how control of the access and re-entry process facilitates the critical infrastructure protection in this example within your community.
