Integrated Rapid Visual Screening of Tunnels
BIPS 03/March 2011


Since the events of September 11, 2001, government officials, law
enforcement, the design community, transportation specialists,
and first responders have understood that the risk environment
has changed and that the Nation’s critical assets must be protected.
The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has identified transportation
infrastructure as a Critical Infrastructure and Key Resource
(CIKR) Sector.
DHS has sponsored the development of a methodology
for assessing the risk and resilience of
tunnels to terrorist attacks and selected natural
hazards. The methodology, referred to as the integrated
rapid visual screening (IRVS) for tunnels,
was developed by the DHS Science and Technology
Directorate (DHS S&T), Infrastructure Protection
and Disaster Management Division, in partnership
with the public and private-sector stakeholders involved
in the design, operation, and management
of critical infrastructure.
The result of an IRVS of tunnels is a quantifiable assessment of the risk
of a given tunnel to a terrorist attack or natural disaster that leads to catastrophic
losses (fatalities, injuries, damage, or business interruption) and
a quantifiable assessment of the resiliency of the tunnel (ability to recovery
from such an event).
