TOOL SELECTION OPTIONS • AARC Risk and Resilience Analytic Tool (ARRT) • Vulnerability Self -Assessment Tool (VSAT) • Program to Assist Risk and Resilience Examination (PARRE) Consultant has developed ARRT as a transparent, readily understandable and universally useable tool for assessing utility risk and weighing risk mitigation choices. Consultant is able to expand upon the capabilities of either ARRT, VSAT, or PARRE by including queries based on the Resilience Attributes Framework developed by Principal Scientist Dr. Scott Thomas.
