For the Eugene/Springfield Metro Area, critical facilities include key elements of the water system, electric power substations, other facilities with hazardous materials (cf. Chapter 14) and important public facilities such as police and fire stations. There are also other sites of some political significance including the Federal Building, City Hall, and the University of Oregon. The most likely adverse consequences are vandalism and minor destructive actions by outsiders, insiders, or hackers. The evaluation of existing countermeasures should include: 1) physical security measures, such as fencing, locks and key control, structural integrity of critical assets, and detection capabilities such as intrusion detection systems, alarms, operational alarms for utility systems, and general security/access issues, 2) Cyber security measures, such as protection measures for business/operational computer systems and SCADA systems, including fire walls, access, security policies and protocols, including vendor access and system diagnostics, and Public Review Draft: October 14, 2004 15-3
