Summarize key points and findings of the analysis. A very key point in writing: in qualitative analysis papers, such as in this course, only summaries can be provided. In quantitative analysis work (i.e. number crunching scientific methodology using statistical analysis) conclusions may be reached from the resulting data analysis.Recommendations.
Be specific in your recommendations. Include courses of action (COA), steps, procedures to be taken, etc.Works Cited

The general rule of thumb is more than four (4) abbreviations or acronyms a definitions page becomes a requirement.—You are the Critical Infrastructure Protection (CIP) Officer in the Plans Directorate of your County Emergency Management Agency. Your county commissioners have decided, based on continuing economic factors and other municipality-level constraints, that the county may be better suited to orchestrate and implement the National Infrastructure Protection Plan (NIPP) better than the municipalities.The paucity of available and full-time assets in the municipalities will simply not support successful implementation of this national-level plan. Based on your education and training, the county Emergency Management Coordinator (EMC) has selected you to oversee, orchestrate, and synchronize the efforts of all associated stakeholders in meeting the six objectives in the NIPP. The county EMC would like this product in the form of a strategy (e.g., short and broad but addressing the key tenets) and the objectives stated in the NIPP.He does not seek the intricate details that are normally associated with a program or plan; rather, he wants an overarching document that provides the affected stakeholders (e.g., owners or operators of Critical Infrastructure (CI), associated first responders, elected officials, and other public safety officials) with a strategy for protecting the county’s CI. He specifically wants the strategy to include a vision, goal, what needs to be accomplished, how you intend to accomplish each objective, and the resources that you intend to use to enable this strategy.Using what you have learned thus far from the statutory, directive, plan references, and any dialogue with your colleagues, develop a County Strategy for Critical Infrastructure Protection that includes the specified tasks directed by your County EMC. Your only constraint is that this is not intended to be the intricate detailed plan for executing each implied task associated with critical infrastructure protection. It is meant to provide a reader with a general sense of background, purpose, tasks to be performed, and a conceptual framework of how you intend to execute the county responsibilities for successful completion of all specified and implied tasks.Assignment DetailsAddress the following in a strategy document of 2-3 pages:In your county CIP strategy, include the following components:
Vision
Goal
What needs to be accomplished
How you intend to accomplish each objective
The resources that you intend to use to enable this strategy
How will you synchronize the efforts of all associated stakeholders in meeting the six objectives in the NIPP? Explain in detail.
Remember to be specific and detailed in your county CIP strategy.
