Q: For those institutions that have BIT's, who is using a graded threat assessment model & who is using a more fluid scale?
Tabletop exercises should be realistic and tailored to your campus. A threat or vulnerability assessment examines threats in terms of probability, likelihood, and magnitude of impact. Once threats are identified, every attempt should be made to mitigate the potential impacts
This is accomplished by a phased process consisting of five distinct phases: Phase One – Information gathering and reporting Collecting data and information from people in key positions; Conducting confidential interviews with management, staff and stakeholders; Finding and assessing operational and communication strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats and; Reporting the results to the key decision makers on the management team, reaching consensus on the key areas in which planning is required or where planning needs renovation and securing recommendations for the candidates for a well-versed and representative planning team

This is especially important in the event of a dangerous situation or a potential threat as it could possibly mean the difference between life and death.
