Description
Summary:infrastructure protection, and infrastructures are a CASoS. They are interdependent and are designed by people to be used by people, governed by supply and demand. 1 2The Pandemic story:-On Halloween 2005 NISAC got a call from DHS. Public health officials worldwide were afraid that the H5N1 “avian flu ” virus would jump species and become a pandemic like the one in 1918 that killed 50M people worldwide. DHS wanted NISAC to put together a briefing package to prepare DHS Sec Chertoff for a White House table top exercise the second week of December.-President Bush got excited about this issue by reading a book on a plane (or while he was in Crawford in August 2005 on vacation). The situation that NISAC was charged to investigate was the existence of a pandemic outbreak, but with no supplies of vaccine or antiviral. 3 4Our goal is to design solutions inside of these systems, or to design them themselves. 5 Now to define each of the terms in CASoS in turn.
