This approach identifies gaps in current capabilities and focuses efforts on identifying and developing priority capabilities and tasks for the jurisdiction. States and urban areas use capabilities-based planning to identify a baseline assessment of their homeland security efforts by comparing their current capabilities against the Target Capabilities List (TCL) and the critical tasks of the Universal Task List (UTL).

The Incident Action Planning process used to prepare the IAP is a key component for ensuring effective integration of Territory and Federal resources and unity of effort. Resources are not double-committed or duplicated. The Incident Action Plan (IAP) is the central tool for planning during the response to and initial recovery from an incident. The joint IAP identifies the incident objectives established for the integrated Territory/Federal operation and addresses specific tactical actions and supporting information for each operational period. generally 24 hours. Cross-functional collaboration is critical to the process. a common set of incident objectives is developed and resources assigned to effectively meet those objectives.FOR OFFICIAL USE ONLY GUAM ALL-HAZARDS CATASTROPHIC CONOP BASE PLAN.

A tropical cyclone is a general term for all large circulating weather systems over tropical waters. Tropical cyclones are classified by their intensity and include Tropical Depressions. Severe winds are generally categorized into two groups. The "eye" is generally 20 to 30 miles wide with an "eye wall". Tropical cyclones in the intensity classifications of Tropical Storms. A tropical storm lingering over Guam for ten hours can sometimes cause more damage and destruction than a typhoon that quickly passes over Guam. A tropical cyclone becomes "significant" with the issuance of the first numbered warning by Joint Typhoon Warning Center as reported by the National Weather Service. Typhoon winds blow in a large spiral around a relative calm center known as the "eye". Severe Tropical Storms. Typhoon and especially Super Typhoons can cause severe damage and destruction to property and infrastructure as well as cause injuries or death.E. "Destructive winds" has an averaged sustained wind speeds 58MPH and above. at which time the skies will begin to darken and winds will grow in strength.

Seoul Broadcasting System (SBS), one of Korea's largest television broadcasters, is getting ready to cover the 2006 Doha Asian Games, an event being held in Doha, Qatar, this December that will pit 45 countries competing in 39 sporting events.
SBS will use the NEXIO XS HD/SD shared storage transmission server system from Harris. The 2006 Doha Asian Games will mark the first time SBS will use a server-based production system to broadcast a live event.
The system configuration includes six NEXIO XS servers with 36 channels — 12 for ingest and 24 for playout — and two VelocityNX HD/SD promotions craft editors. Integrated into the NEXIO SAN, VelocityNX enables editing of native HD and SD content (both 720p and 1080i) directly from the NEXIO shared storage architecture.
At the 2006 Doha Asian Games, the NEXIO XS system will be used for ingest and the recording of major clips of sports events, which will later be extracted and trimmed for sports highlights. Editors will use VelocityNX to access live recording almost immediately and begin editing highlights or trimming events into a format ready for broadcasting.
