Welcome
to the February 2007 Issue!
|
This
is the February 2007 Community Safety/Security
Newsletter for people who are interested in making their homes,
families, workplaces, neighborhoods, and communities safer.
BIG NEWS! (Continued again!)
As we mentioned before, the
Department of Homeland
Security came out with a preliminary rulemaking requiring chemical
facilities to perform Security Vulnerability Assessments. Last
month we posted our comments on the regulations (which can still be
downloaded here),
over the past month, Stephen Melvin has given two presentations on the
topic. To receive the slides from the presentations, please email
us at: info@oursafetowns.com.
The text of the regulations can be
found at: http://a257.g.akamaitech.net/7/257/2422/01jan20061800/edocket.access.gpo.gov/2006/06-9903.htm
MORE NEWS!
This month we're introducing
Mr. Bill Benson to you. He's signed on to help us produce the
newsletters, so next month you'll hopefully see his picture to the
right. Bill comes to us with over 10 years of experience in the
security and safety fields. He was one of the original folks who
set me on the path to the Security side of things (back in '96, when we
were doing safety assessments) and they are currently working on a new
book together. I'll let him tell you a bit more about himself
next month.
Past newsletters are all on the
website at: Newsletters.
As
always, thanks for helping us make the world just a little safer!
-Stephen

What
lies ahead?
|
Bill
Benson and Stephen Melvin are collaborating on a new e-book: Keeping
Our Chemical Facilities Safe. We expect to release it shortly
after the new Chemical Facility Vulnerability Assessment Regulations
are finalized. It will detail the implementation of the RAMCAP
methodology (called out in the regulations) and will address the
differences between that methodology and those developed by API,
Sandia National Labs, and AIChE. We'll keep you posted on the
release.
Keeping
Our Schools Safe is progressing.
We have begun offering consulting services under the SRM Associates
banner. Emergency Response Planning for businesses, agencies, and
communities. Tabletop exercises, vulnerability assessments,
safety assessments, etc. Many of you have worked with us in the
past, so you know the type of things that we do. It is our
intention to work with businesses and agencies that truly wish to
improve their ability to prevent, respond to, and recover from a
disaster. We find ways to make your community safer, while
working to make your job easier. We help to find grant funding
for emergency preparedness programs and often, can help you accomplish
your project with little to no money out of your budget. If you
are interested in working with us directly to make your community,
business, or agency safer, please contact us at: info@oursafetowns.com.
See
you next month! |
