137 STEP 1: ORGANIZE FOR SUCCESS Yes No Internal to your Organization Have you identified the roles and responsibilities for executive level championing of resilience throughout the organization? Have you established clear responsibilities for planning for a more resilient supply chain or for a more resilient transportation system (if a public agency)

138 STEP 2: DEVELOP A COMMUNICATIONS /INFORMATION EXCHANGE STRATEGY Yes No Internal to your Organization Have you developed a strategy for communicating information on the importance of resiliency to agency staff and to their job within the agency? Have you developed and periodically updated (based on lessons learned from prior incidents)

139 STEP 3: ASSESS CURRENT PRACTICE Yes No Internal to your Organization Have you assessed how your agency is doing with respect to enhancing the resilience of supply chains/transportation systems? Have you conducted an internal hazards and threats role-playing exercise to assess your organization's readiness to respond to disruptions?

140 STEP 4: UNDERSTAND HAZARDS AND THREATS AND THEIR IMPACTS/CONSEQUENCES Yes No Internal to your Organization Have you identified potential hazards and threats that will result in disruptions to the supply chain/transportation system and the implications to your organization's response and recovery efforts? Have you made systematic and structured efforts to identify where in your network redundancy does NOT exist such that impacts to system users will likely be more significant?
