Give your opinion on how either a physical attack, a cyber event, or a natural disaster could impact critical infrastructure.

Discussion Questions: 1) In your own words, construct an overview of the critical information sector you choose for this discussion.
2) Examine at least three of the following:

Unique aspects as they relate to national security
Risks/threats/hazards/vulnerabilities related to national security
Potential countermeasures/mitigations related to continuity of operations
Minimizing disruption and improving first responder safety
Cross-sector dependencies/interdependencies

3) Give your opinion on how either a physical attack, a cyber event, or a natural disaster could impact critical infrastructure.

1. Modern society relies on the free flow of people and goods, which is made possible by the transportation industry. It has been instrumental in promoting international trade and commerce for centuries. Globally, people, businesses, and governments all rely on reliable and accessible modes of transportation to go where they need to go. The public uses it for work and play, and businesses depend on it to provide goods and services to clients and partners worldwide. Government spending on transportation infrastructure like roads, bridges, and airports helps the economy since it facilitates commerce on a national and international scale, employs people, and boosts productivity (Raza et al., 2019). Trade, business, and travel, as well as economic growth and development, would not be possible in today’s society without the transportation sector.
It is impossible to overestimate the significance of the transportation industry to the safety and well-being of the American people. However, various risks, threats, hazards, and vulnerabilities could negatively impact national security. Disruptions in the transportation sector could be caused by perils such as cyberattacks, terrorist attacks, infrastructure failures, and natural catastrophes. Several efforts can be taken to lessen the impact of these dangers. The transportation sector can continue functioning normally during and after an interruption thanks to a continuity of operations plan. In a disaster, the transportation sector can continue to work because of this plan’s backup systems, redundancies, and alternative routes (Lawther & Martin, 2015). Improved collaboration between agencies and departments to share information and coordinate reactions to potential threats and heightened surveillance and screening of passengers and cargo are two more techniques for bolstering security. By taking these precautions, the transportation industry will be better able to safeguard national security and continue operating normally in the face of disruptions.
Maintaining the free flow of products and services, avoiding potential economic damage, and maintaining public trust in the safety and security of our transportation infrastructure all depend on preventing physical attacks on the transportation industry. Therefore, we must take all required actions to protect our transportation networks and forestall any lasting effects on the sector. I believe the United States transportation sector has not encountered any significant attacks. However, there have been notable mishaps related to transportation infrastructure, including the 2017 Amtrak derailment in Washington state and the 2018 bridge collapse in Miami (TNS, 2018). Despite these occurrences, the transportation sector remains vital to our nation’s infrastructure and security. Ongoing efforts are being made to uphold its safety and durability.

2.The United States telecommunications are all related to the communication sector. This sector offers wireless, internet, and landlines for all users, individuals, and businesses. The more the technology develops, the more the sector is subject to security breaches. This sector is crucial for communication across the United States for other key infrastructure sectors like electricity, transportation, emergency services, etc.
Potential countermeasures/mitigations related to continuity of operations:
Risk assessment results and the execution of this plan are the number one priority for owners and operators in the communications sector. Risk management activities are used to prevent attacks and disasters or minimize vulnerability, whether it be natural catastrophes or terrorist attacks. Owners and operators decide, based on their viability, which risk mitigation strategies to put in place and prioritize. The communication sector executes risk reduction initiatives with various mitigations based on the hazards identified. For instance, cybersecurity risks and physical risks must be mitigated differently. Installing GPS antennas in earthquake-prone areas will require different techniques than addressing cybersecurity vulnerability (Communications Sector Specific-Plan an Annex to the NIPP 2013, 2015).
Give your opinion on how a physical attack, a cyber event, or a natural disaster could impact
the critical infrastructure.
The communication industry would be greatly impact in case of natural disaster for several reason. The menace never ends and its consequence are constantly ambiguous. The communication will be impacted in the area where natural disaster occurred. The ability to communicate would be affect.

implications for individuals and society. This sets the stage for the discussion on the

effectiveness of CBT as a treatment for depression.

The body of the paper is divided into several themes or sub-topics. Theme 1 focuses on the

effectiveness of CBT for individuals with mild depression. The writer presents evidence

from various studies to support the claim that CBT is effective in treating mild depression.

This theme is further expanded with additional evidence and examples.

Theme 2 addresses the use of CBT for major depression. The writer acknowledges that

while CBT is effective for mild depression, individuals with more severe depression may

require a combination of medication and CBT. Evidence is provided to support this claim.

Theme 3 introduces conflicting evidence, acknowledging that some studies have failed to

support the idea that CBT is effective for depression. The writer presents this opposing

viewpoint, acknowledging that there are differing opinions and findings in the literature.

Theme 4 explores the use of CBT in treating post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). This

expands the discussion beyond depression and demonstrates the efficacy of CBT in treating

other mental health conditions.

The conclusion summarizes the main conclusions drawn from the paper and emphasizes

the importance and implications of the research findings for human health and psychology.

It also suggests directions for future research in the field of CBT and depression.

Overall, the outline provides a clear and organized structure for the course paper, allowing the

RISE Feedback:
REFLECT: I concur with “Action plans should reflect the type of services that are needed and have an idea of the expected outcome of the services” because it is in line with Hatch and Hartline’s intentional school counseling guidelines in regards to determining students needs.
INQUIRE: Can you further explain what “closing-the-gap action plans” are?
SUGGEST: I encourage you to revisit Hatch and Hartline’s MTMDSS tier interventions in order to add a citation that would illustrate your example on bullying prevention efforts.
ELEVATE: What if you re-purposed “For example, after a needs assessment, the school is having problems with bullying” as “Following Trish Hatch’s MTMDSS tier based interventions, if the school is having problems with bullying, after a needs assessment, we could… citation…” for a more weighted argument?

What program funding is available? Financial Aid?

While reading the provided resource for this week, I learned about the following financial aid options for students with disabilities: “Federal Pell Grants, Supplemental Education Opportunity Grants and the Federal Work-Study program” (Patton, 2019). There are also additional funds for students participating in Transition Postsecondary Education Programs for Students with Intellectual Disabilities (TPSID) that allow these students to be provided with additional resources that can help them be successful.

Pick two (2) ways School Counselors are important advocates and how you see yourself in the role using a similar approach.

As stated in the provided resource, school counselors can connect students with resources that will allow them to receive accommodations in college. School counselors can also encourage students to research their post-secondary options such as financial aid available specifically for students with disabilities.
When I am a school counselor, I would love to create a college planning Google website for students on my caseload. This website can be a one-stop shop for students who need to connect with resources for post-secondary planning. I would have a section specifically for students with disabilities to learn more information about funding that is available for them, and so that they can know that they can still receive accommodations in college. I remember at my mom’s former district, a school counselor incorrectly told her class of IEP students that they will not be able to receive accommodations in college. This simply is not the truth! Due to my own disability, I was able to receive several accommodations in college that helped me be successful when I was completing my BA. However, I had no idea that I could receive accommodations until I was in my sophomore year of college. I wish that my high school counselor had helped me advocate for myself so that I could have received these accommodations even earlier. Luckily, my college counselor was able to connect me with the right resources. I hope to be this connection for my students.

Pick two (2) ways School Counselors are important advocates

The North Dakota School Counselor article was very informative. Although this information counselors ought to know. This is a clear set of resources one can always have handy when counseling students with Disabilities that may think they are not suitable to pursue higher education due to their disabilities.
Since 2008, The Transition Postsecondary Education Programs for Students with Intellectual Disabilities (TPSID) has supported 48 colleges and universities that serve 1,500 students with disabilities. The program helps students that want to continue their education, have independent living instructions, that prepares them for employment. Programs can be degree-granted or certificate, or even not certificate programs . The do require4d the student with disabilities to be enrolled in regular classes (with non-disabled students) for half of the program The think program (a national coordinating center for TPSID programs, provides support, coordination, and evaluation services for 270 colleges programs for students with disabilities. It is accessible for students and parents to learn about the programs available for students with autism, intellectual disabilities, and other disabilities (Postsecondary Options for Students with Disabilities – American School Counselor Association (ASCA) 2019). .
The types of financial aid offered to students with disabilities that opt to participate in TPSID programs are Federal Pel Grants, Supplemental Education Opportunity Grants and the Federal Work-Study program. Tuition waver though vocational rehabilitation agencies and community colleges. Students in TPSID programs can be eligible for individual training account funds set aside by the One-/stop Career Centers, Plans for Achieving Self Sufficient from Social Security and Medicaid (Postsecondary Options for Students with Disabilities – American School Counselor Association (ASCA) 2019). .
Students with other disabilities such as students with IEP are eligible to receive same accommodation as they received in high school. All colleges that receive federal funding must have department of disability services that have access to instructional technology, tutoring, and social support, and testing accommodations (Postsecondary Options for Students with Disabilities – American School Counselor Association (ASCA) 2019). .

Pick two (2) ways School Counselors are important advocates and how you see yourself in the role using a similar approach.

Based on this article, in spite of the availability of resources these programs are not exploited enough for lack of information about the existence of these programs.
Based on the above, I believe that the best way to advocate is to invite universities with TPSID programs and a representative from the disability services department from colleges to talk about options and supports they provide. And, do a districtwide transition for specially for student with disabilities. But, most importantly I believe is to educate students and parents about their rights and protections.
