The ASIS Commission on Standards and Guidelines is soliciting comments on suggested revisions to the Threat Advisory System Response (TASR) Guideline.
The TASR Guideline, up for a 60 day public review-and-comment period, was first published in 2004. ASIS Guidelines are reevaluated every three years with the possibility of revision if warranted, said ASIS International.
ASIS developed the TASR Guideline as an initiative to provide the private sector a tool to prompt consideration of possible actions that could be implemented based on elevated alert levels announced by the U.S. Department of Homeland Security.
The guideline, in conjunction with the Homeland Security Advisory System, is a recommended baseline to derive ultimate threat responses, said ASIS International.
Private businesses and industry, as the providers of goods and services and the owners of approximately 85% of the U.S. infrastructure, play a role in helping to mitigate the physical effects and economic costs of domestic incidents, according to ASIS International.
Business and industry collaboration with government and other organizations helps protect and restore the nation’s infrastructure in the event of an incident, said ASIS International.
To provide input, visit the Guidelines section of the ASIS web site at www.asisonline.org.
Comments must be submitted by Feb. 1, 2008. The TASR Guideline can be downloaded at no charge on the site.
