Executive Summary:
Monroe Urban Area Security Initiative (UASI)
Critical Infrastructure and Key Resources Analysis Project
Phase 1
Covering Livingston, Monroe, Ontario, Orleans, and Wayne Counties in New York State
This document reports on the activity completed as part of the Monroe Urban Area Security Initiative (UASI)
Critical Infrastructure and Key Resources (CI/KR) analysis effort. The intent was to identify those assets within
the counties that may have a significant impact on the counties themselves, the region, and beyond should they
become partially or completely non-operational. The analysis followed federal DHS standards. Information
concerning each type of CI/KR asset was reviewed for the Livingston, Monroe, Ontario, Orleans, and Wayne
counties. The assets were then added or updated in the federal DHS Automated Critical Asset Management
System (ACAMS).
In this report, regional (federal priority) assets are ranked by potential impact. These assets are ranked according
to both their in-region, and potential out-of-region impacts. The county level assets (local priority) are
relatively ranked, with the more critical local assets toward the top. However, it is impossible to do an implicit
ranking, as relative impacts at this level are difficult to delineate.
Changes to scope of work
In the fall of 2010, it became clear that local asset managers needed specific assistance entering
information into the ACAMS asset database. The team needed to contact and visit each site, and then
input the gathered data, rather than act in an advisory role to the asset managers and the Urban Area
Working Group.
Post award, December 2010, the team was notified that a funding error had occurred and funding levels
were adjusted from $150,000 to $125,000. In addition, Orleans County was added to the study.
In January of 2011, the team was tasked with assisting the CI/KR nomination processes and response.
This has been done each annual cycle, supplying information to these data calls.
Due to the above changes, flooding analysis was split between phase I and II of this project, while power
and water analysis and multimodal risk analysis were moved to phase two activities.
