  Hydro Security
Hydropower is the primary source of renewable energy in the United States, constituting about 14% of the country's electrical generating capacity. We provide a full spectrum of dam facilities threat vulnerability assessments focused on enhancing protection against terrorist attacks and improving preparedness, response, and recovery in the event of a natural disaster, subversive attack or other emergency scenarios.
SMS professionals possess a solid operational expertise in hydropower security including threat assessments and risk mitigation. SMS is the primary contributor to development of Dam Assessment Matrix for Security and Vulnerability Risk (DAMSVR) methodology tool adopted by Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) and Department of Homeland Security (DHS).

“All security systems must be integrated to be effective. Timely detection, assessment, response, containment, and the mitigation of a threat and their effects must all work together. Only through effective and sound development of management policies, procedures, and budgeting, will an effective security program exist. Regular testing and maintenance ensures reliability (Confidence Factor).” |
