These potential threats include terrorism, natural disasters, and any other attacks or emergencies. In order to protect CIKR, activities like improvement of security protocols, hardening facilities, building resiliency and redundancy, incorporation of hazard resistance into facility designs, initiating active or passive countermeasures, installation of security systems, leveraging self-healing technologies, promotion of workforce security programs, implementation of cyber security measures, training and exercises, development of Business Continuity
"Beep, Beep, Beep.." Privates Joseph Lockard and George Elliot raced to their superior to tell of the approaching planes.

The earthquake and tsunami Japans coast lies in ruins after the earthquake hit followed by the tsunami picking up everything in its path like cars, houses, and warehouses. Seismometers, strain gages, and title gages records the disaster. P-waves travel at four miles a second and within seconds warnings flash across the country. The S-waves shake the ground making earthquakes so damaging and the reactor core is shut down (Kerger, 2011.
Crisis Management may be defined as the process of preparing for and responding to an unpredictable negative event to prevent it from turning into an even bigger problem, or becoming a full-blown, widespread, life-threatening disaster. It involves the execution of well-coordinated actions to control the damage and preserve or restore confidence in the system under crisis. Risk management, on the other hand, is a process for identifying, assessing, and prioritizing risks of different kinds. Once the risks are identified, the risk manager will create a plan to minimize or eliminate the impact of negative events. Common risks include things like accidents in the workplace or fires, tornadoes, earthquakes, and other natural disasters.
Human Factors: Managing the Risk Introduction Human factors associated with the world of aviation contribute to an astounding number of mishaps and accidents. According to a Federal Aviation Administration report, 60-80% of aviation accidents are due, at least in part, to human error (Boquet, Detwiler, Hackworth, Holcomb, Shapell, & Wiegmann, 2006). Whether in the air or on the ground, the human factor stands alone as the leading cause of accidents. Errors in aviation can and will end in the loss of human life. Inherently, eliminating all risks is impossible.
