Assessment of the likelihood (qualitative prob- / <br />ability) of such malevolent acts from defined V <br />threat sources (e.g. terrorist, insider, determined <br />vandal, casual vandal, etc.) <br /> <br />5.

The approach to the VA is "performance-based," <br />meaning that it evaluates the risk to the water <br />system based on the effectiveness of the security <br />system against the specific malevolent acts <br />determined in the initial step. <br /> <br />./ <br /> <br />././ <br /> <br />7. The VA determines the most critical assets <br />(targets) in a water system, details their inter- <br />relationships within other assets in the system, <br />identifies the consequences of malevolent acts <br />that could be directed against them, and evalu- <br />ates the effectiveness of both existing and pro- <br />posed protection systems. <br /> <br />./ <br /> <br />././ <br /> <br />8. The VA identifies a system's vulnerabilities and <br />provides a prioritized plan for security upgrades, <br />modifications of operational procedures, and/or <br />policy changes to mitigate identified risks to <br />critical assets, The VA also provides a basis for <br />comparing the cost of protection against the risks <br />posed. <br /> <br />././././ <br /> <br />Vulnerability A"e>smpn( and Emergency Re,pome Plan SOQ <br /> <br />page 1-1 <br />
