National Infrastructure Protection Plan and Critical Infrastructure and Key Resources

Gregory Allen and Rachel Derr

Abstract

This chapter discusses the United States National Infrastructure Protection Plan (NIPP), which sets forth a comprehensive risk management framework and clearly defines roles and responsibilities. The NIPP takes an all-hazards approach and emphasizes the integration of the resilience concept as well as the use of a common risk assessment approach, including the core criteria for these analyses to allow the comparison of risk across sectors.
