Inspection Process• Assemble list of candidate critical facilities• Input facilities and scoring criteria in UFIS
o Ranked list of facilities for inspection• Perform site visit/inspection
o Building walk around / walk througho UFRAS scoringo Written report detailing findings and
recommendations

UFIS vs. UFRAS• UFIS – University Facilities Importance Spreadsheet
o Intended to rank facilities according to relative importance
o Extremely simple formulaso 8 inputs per facilityo Helps build consensus among stakeholders
• UFRAS – University Facilities Risk Assessment Spreadsheeto Intended to rank facilities according to relative
risko Extremely intricate formulaso ~ 250 inputs per facilityo Demonstrates to funding agency that mitigation
dollars are being allocated effectively

Choosing Occupancy• Most buildings are Occupancy II
o Offices, warehouseso Anything not a III or IV
• Occupancy IIIo Classroom or residence halls that hold more than

Facility List• Enter the list of facilities to be ranked in the
appropriate red-shaded column• Can cut and paste into this sheet• NCCHEF # can be any number, not required
for analysis• Enter the following facilities and NCCHEF #
o Sycamore Dorm #1o Atkins Library #2o Duke Centennial Hall #3o Public Safety Building #4o Cameron Hall #5

Weights• Weights allow the user to give greater
significance to one or more ranking criteria• Higher value for weight means a greater
significance• Example – you are more concerned about
the value of the facility’s contents than its historic value
• No restriction on the value other than it must be greater than 0
• Recommended weight = 1.0 for all factors
www.zapatainc.com
Data Entry Form• Will automatically populate from the Facility
List sheet• Under each Facility Factor, assign a ranking
using the weights shown in the column heading
• A higher weight means the facility is more important with respect to the factor
• Name of user – handy if multiple people are filling out UFIS together
• Comments – useful for explaining very high/low ratings
www.zapatainc.com
Factors• Occupancy – Get from Table 1-1• Emergency Function – Is it critical in your
emergency plan? • Facility Loss – High insured value of structure?• Facility Contents – High insured value of
contents?• Business Continuity – is it critical to COOP?• Interconnectivity – do multiple facilities rely on
this facility?• Data/Animal – is there a vivarium or high value
research?• Historical/Cultural – is there historic/cultural
value?
