Emergency Response involves the immediate actions taken to respond to a disaster or information assurance incident. The overall accountability rating for this information classification is Moderate.
Confidentiality level = Low
The confidentiality impact level is the effect of unauthorized disclosure of emergency response information on the ability of responsible entities to respond to a disaster. The consequences of unauthorized disclosure of emergency response information will usually have little or no adverse effect on organizational operations, organizational assets, or individuals.
Known mitigating factors toward changing the confidentiality level
In cases where an attack is underway, unauthorized disclosure of emergency response information can provide information that might permit criminals or other adversaries to target emergency response assets, thus jeopardizing emergency response resources and missions. Where unauthorized release of information can reasonably be expected to facilitate interference with emergency response missions, the confidentiality impact level may be moderate or high.
Integrity level = High
The integrity impact level is based on the specific mission and the data supporting that mission, not on the time required to detect the modification or destruction of information. The consequences of unauthorized modification or destruction of emergency response information usually depends on whether the information is time-critical. Unauthorized modification or destruction of emergency response information may pose a significant threat to major assets.
Availability level = High
The availability impact level is based on the specific mission and the data supporting that mission, not on the time required to reestablish access to emergency response information. Generally, missions supported by emergency response information are not tolerant of delays. Delays may result in major property damage or system downtime. Denial of access to emergency response information may result in significant degradation in mission capability and resultant catastrophic consequences for critical infrastructures, key organizational assets.
