4  Address the risks and vulnerabilities of our nation's television, radio, multi-channel video, microwave, and satellite infrastructure during a time of terrorist attack, natural disaster or other manmade catastrophe.  Evaluate the redundancy of media infrastructure within each industry and among different sectors.  Report on best practices designed to address vulnerabilities in broadcast and MVPD facilities resulting from terrorist activities, natural disasters, or similar occurrences. Prevention Task Force Objectives

5 Risk & vulnerability assessment  Conduct initial analysis on both geographic & industry sector basis.  Ensure that all industry segments and regions are addressed.  Analyze key points of exposure including intersections between industry segments.  Identify cross industry redundancy that creates needed backup.  Focus on examining typical not unique situations.  Develop analysis and recommendations based upon public interest viewpoint.  Desirable that all media maintain service.  Essential that some media maintain service under any conditions. Prevention Task Force Work Plan

6 October – December 2002  Conduct evaluation of risks and vulnerability at the national level for all industry segments.  Broadcast TV, Cable TV, and radio subgroups formed. January - March 2003  Communicate working group analysis and findings to Restoration Working Group.  Conduct regional level review for all industry segments. April – June 2003  Conduct metropolitan level review for all industry segments. Prevention Task Force Work Schedule Time Line
