Paper Abstract
Current understanding of how to restore a wide area that has been contaminated following a large biological attack is
limited. The Department of Homeland Security and Department of Defense are executing a four-year collaborative
program named the Interagency Biological Restoration Demonstration (IBRD) program. This program is aimed at
developing technologies, methods, plans and policies necessary to restore a wide area, including military installations
and critical infrastructures, in the event of a large outdoor aerosol release of anthrax. The IBRD program partner pilot
city is the Seattle Urban Area to include Fort Lewis, WA and McChord Air Force Base. A front-end systems analysis
was conducted as part of IBRD, to: 1) assess existing technologies and processes for wide area restoration; from this, 2)
develop an "as-is" decision framework for wide area restoration; and 3) identify and prioritize capability gaps.
Qualitative assessments and quantitative analyses, including sensitivity, timeline and case study analyses, were
conducted to evaluate existing processes and rank capability gaps. This paper describes the approach and results from
this front-end systems analysis.
