| 5.1.3.4 | RSEM shall include a Monitor Alert Levels (MAL) function. |
| 5.1.3.4.3 | MAL shall increase system preparedness as the likelihood of an incident increases, including: |
| 5.1.3.4.3(a) | Activating physical security systems and implementing security procedures |
| 5.1.3.4.3(b) | Adjusting parameters of surveillance and sensor devices. |
| 5.1.3.5 | RSEM shall include a Physical Security System (PSS) function. |
| 5.1.3.5.2 | PSS shall allow system operators to monitor and control operation of the physical security system devices, including operator override. |

| 5.2 | EMERGENCY VEHICLE MANAGEMENT |
| 5.3 | DISASTER RESPONSE AND EVACUATION |
| 5.3.0 | ITS shall provide a Disaster Response and Evacuation (DRE) function that provides for effective, coordinated management of the surface transportation system during all types of disasters including natural disasters (hurricanes, earthquakes, floods, severe winter storms, tsunamis, etc.), terrorist acts, and other catastrophic events (e.g., nuclear power plant disasters). Two primary subservices are provided: (1) Disaster Response and (2) Evacuation Coordination. The Disaster Response Subservice provides support for planning, transportation management, resource sharing, and information coordination between transportation agencies and principal responding agencies (emergency management, public safety, and other allied agencies) to improve the effectiveness and safety of a disaster response. The Disaster Response Subservice consists of eight major functions: 1) Coordinate Response Plans, 2) Monitor Alert Levels, 3) Detect and Verify Emergency, 4) Assess Infrastructure Status, 5) Coordinate Response, 6) Critical Service Restoration, 7) Manage Area Transportation, and 8) Disaster Traveler Information. The Evacuation Coordination (EC) Subservice efficiently manages an evacuation and provides evacuees with the information they need during evacuation and subsequent reentry to the evacuated area. The Evacuation Coordination (EC) subservice includes four additional major functions: 9) Evacuation Planning Support, 10) Evacuation Traveler Information, 11) Evacuation Transportation Management, and 12) Evacuation Resource Sharing. |
| 5.3.2 | Disaster Response shall provide a Monitor Alert Levels (MAL) function. |
