Title

Detection Systems — Automatic Activation and Notification

Control

Employ fire detection systems that activate automatically and notify [Assignment: personnel or roles] and [Assignment: emergency responders] in the event of a fire.

Discussion

Organizations can identify personnel, roles, and emergency responders if individuals on the notification list need to have access authorizations or clearances (e.g., to enter to facilities where access is restricted due to the classification or impact level of information within the facility). Notification mechanisms may require independent energy sources to ensure that the notification capability is not adversely affected by the fire.

Parameters

pe-13.01_odp.01: personnel or roles
pe-13.01_odp.02: emergency responders
