Utility Security Methods

IMC implores the following methods (but is not limited) of protecting a utility facility:

Use of technology – smart fencing, high definition security cameras, alarms and video analytics
Setting a site footprint and securing the perimeter
Architectural design elements (barriers/obstacles) to secure facility from avenues of approach
Utility systems (indoor and outdoor) protection from intentional or unintentional damage, tampering, and accidents
Safeguarding communications systems for emergency use
Building access control through barriers, keys, keypad systems, access cards, smart cards, or biometrics, as appropriate
HVAC mitigation measures versus the risk associated with chemical, biological, and radiological threats
Protecting high-risk spaces within the building - hazardous material storage rooms, loading docks, and laboratories
