13-7-0715	Network Operators should proactively communicate with land owners regarding rights-of-way or easements near critical buried facilities to prevent accidental service interruption.
13-7-0716	Network Operators should encourage employees to become proactive in preventing buried facilities damages.
13-7-0738	Network Operators and Service Providers should track and analyze facility outages taking action if any substantial negative trend arises or persists.
13-7-1040	Network Operators, Service Providers, and Equipment Suppliers should consider using lab, demonstration or training equipment if replacement equipment is unavailable in disaster situations.
13-7-3201	Service Providers, Public Safety should jointly develop a response plan to notify the public, through the broadcast media, of alternate means of contacting emergency services during a 911 outage.
13-7-3209	Service Providers should receive signals from local broadcasters as the primary source with automatic fail over to the off-air signal as the secondary source, to support public notification in disasters or emergencies. This applies specifically to CATV providers.
13-7-3210	Public Safety should consider obtaining connections to provide video (for viewing local weather and news information and monitoring distribution of information over EAS), and utilize that connection to provide diverse access to the Internet and telecommunications. This applies specifically to Emergency Operations Centers and PSAPs.
13-7-5020	Network Operators, Service Providers, and Equipment Suppliers should consider establishing corporate standards and practices to drive enterprise-wide access control to a single card and single system architecture to mitigate the security risks associated with administering and servicing multiple platforms.
13-7-5076	Network Operators and Service Providers should ensure and periodically review intra-office diversity of critical resources including power, timing source and signaling leads (e.g., SS7).
13-7-5079	Network Operators, Service Providers should where feasible, provide both physical and logical diversity of critical facilities links (e.g., nodal, network element). Particular attention should be paid to telecom hotels and other concentration points.
13-7-5088	Equipment Suppliers should ensure appropriate physical security controls are designed and tested into new products and product upgrades (e.g., tamper resistant enclosures).
13-7-5198	Equipment Suppliers should design their products to take into consideration protection against the effects of corrosion and contamination.
13-7-5283	Equipment Suppliers should provide network element thermal specifications or other special requirements in order to properly size Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning (HVAC) systems.
13-7-8027	Network Operators and Service Providers should use software change management systems that control, monitor, and record access to master source of software. Ensure network equipment and network management code consistency through checks such as digital signatures, secure hash algorithms, and periodic audits.
13-7-8062	Network Operators and Service Providers should identify and train a Computer Security Incident Response (CSIRT) Team. This team should have access to the CSO (or functional equivalent) and should be empowered by senior management. The team should include security, networking, and system administration specialists but have the ability to augment itself with expertise from any division of the organization. Organizations that establish part-time CSIRTs should ensure representatives are detailed to the team for a suitable period of time bearing in mind both the costs and benefits of rotating staff through a specialized team.
13-7-8076	Equipment Suppliers should develop effective DoS/DDoS survivability features for their product lines.
