Second Annual Homeland Defense Security Education Summit

Second Annual Homeland Defense & Security Education Summit The Business Emergency Operation BEOC Center A National Model for Private Sector Engagement in Exercises, Coordinated Response & Recovery 1

Establishing A BEOC Private Sector Engagement Model Key Components 1. Academia (Research/Program Integration) – Dr. Chumer (NJIT) chumer@njit. edu 2. Private Sector (Collaboration & Private /Public Sector Partnerships) – Hank Straub (NJ Business Force – BENS) hstraub@bens. org 3. Physical site /EOC test bed – Jackie Barnum, Armament, Research, Development, and Engineering Center (ARDEC) jackie. barnum@us. army. mil 4. Student Involvement (BEOC Web Portal) – Derek Linebarger (NJIT) Ph. D. Student 2

ACADEMIA • Mike Chumer, Ph. D. NJIT

Framing the BEOC • Activity theory/Action research/ Articulation – Ethnomethodology and activity theory approaches (Nardi 1996, Dourish 2001, Spinuzzi 2003) establishment and maintenance of joint activities with focus on comm. and information exchanges – Cognitive Anthropology (D’Andrade 1995, Hutchins 1995) relation between cognition and culture – “social worlds” framework to sociology of organizations, occupations, and work (Becker 1982, Strauss 1993, Star 1995) observing and explaining interaction of independent occupation and organizational worlds – Critical theory backdrop (Marxist, structuralist, deconstruction, cultural, radical sociology)

Framing the BEOC (cont) • Academia (theory) – Collaboration (normal, geospatial, strategic) • Two DARPA SSTR/HADR brainstorming sessions Situational awareness Shared situational awareness Anticipatory processes Common Operating Picture Four dimensions of emergency management Command Control (C 2) – process, function, organization – Technology (information & communication) – – – 5

PRAXIS The Private Sector • Hank Straub – Col. USAF ret. – Program Director NJ Business Force/ BENS

Why Establish A BEOC? • Catastrophic events problematic – Possible broad range of consequences • • • Economic Environmental Political Social Psychological • Continuity of Community endangered 10

Key Question How long will we be on our own? Self-Sufficiency improves the chances of survival following catastrophic events 11

Unity of Effort A Necessity 12

The Business Emergency Operations Center Resiliency is the Goal 13

Underlying Concepts Organized & managed by Private Sector Offers multiple advantages ◦ Omni-directional communications ◦ Links diverse groups Potentially limitless with right technologies ◦ Facilitates decision-making ◦ Coordinated response & recovery efforts ◦ Shared situational awareness • Helps reduce chaos 14

Shared Situation Awareness Sources of Information BEOC USNORTHCOM Counties & State Private Sector Networks Resource Mobilization Information Sharing, Analysis & Related Activities Event Asset & Inventory Control Cross Sector Linkage & Collaboration Sector Representative Sector Status Sector Representative NGO Representative Sector Status Private Sector Representatives Association & Consortium Statuses 15

Primary BEOC Functions • Command, Control & Coordination o Private Sector touch point • Communications nexus • Data collection, analysis & synthesis o Actionable intelligence o Expertise reach-back o Risk assessments • Clearinghouse for issues & questions o Sector specific issues 16

Primary BEOC Functions (Cont. ) • Decision making o Solution generation o Rapid dissemination of information • Access to private sector resources o Monitoring mobilized private sector assets • Operational planning • Documentation & reporting BEOC Functions = Capabilities & Synergy 17

Business Emergency Operations Centers RECAP • Businesses helping Businesses & Businesses supporting public sector incident management through: – – Information Sharing Direct Assistance Resource Sharing Integrated Exercises • Communication conduits for collaboration & cooperation – Goals o An “engagement model” for use during coalition collaborations in response to catastrophic events o A technology & systems model to encourage interaction & create situational awareness o Preserve Continuity of Community & continuity of operations 18
