4. Consequence: The immediate, short-term, and long-term effects of a malevolent attack or natural, technological, or human-caused hazard. These effects incLude losses suffered by the owner of the asset and by the community served by that asset, human and property losses, environmental damages, lifeline interruptions, and qualitative losses.
5. Incident: An occurrence or event, either natural or man-made, that requires a response to protect life or property Incidents can, for example, include major disasters, emergencies, terrorist attacks, terrorist threats, civil unrest, wild— land or urban fires, floods, hazardous material spills, nuclear accidents, aircraft- related disasters, earthquakes, hurricanes, tornadoes, tropical storms, tsunamis, war-related disasters, public health and medical emergencies, and other occurrences requiring an emergency response.
6. Incident Command System (ICS): A standardized on-scene, all hazards incident management approach that allows for the integration of facilities, equipment, personnel, procedures, and communications operating within a common organizational structure. ICS enables a coordinated response among various jurisdictions and functional agencies, both public and private, and establishes common processes for planning and managing resources. ICS is flexible and can be used for incidents of any type, scope, and complexiry and allows its users to adopt an integrated organizational structure to match the complexities and demands of single or multiple incidents.
7. InfraGard. An information sharing and analysis effort serving the interests and combining the knowledge bases of a wide range of members. At its most basic level, InfraGard is a partnership between the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI)t and the private sector. InfraGard is an association of businesses, academic institutions, state and local law enforcement agencies, and other participants dedicated to sharing information and intelligence to prevent hostile acts against the United States.
8. Intrusion Detection System (IDS): Intrusion detection for industrial control systems (which may also be called Process control System) is lot a single product or a single piece of technology, even though commercial “systems” are available. Instead, intrusion detection is a comprehensive set of tools and processes providing network monitoring that can give an administrator a complete picture of how the network is being used. Implementing a variety of these tools helps to create a defense-in-depth architecture that can be more effective in identifying attacker activities and using the tools in a manner that can be preventative. Additional information on securing industrial control systems and supervisory control and data acquisition (SADA) systems can be found in appendix A.
9. National Incident Management System (NIMS): N1MS provides a systematic, proactive approach to guide departments and agencies at all levels of government, nongovernmental organizations, and the private sector to work seamlessly to prevent, protect against, respond to, recover from, and mitigate the effects of incidents, regardless of cause, size, location, or complexity, to reduce the loss of life. NIMS was developed by the US Department of Homeland Security (US DHS) so that responders from different jurisdictions and disciplines can better work together to respond to natural disasters and emergencies, including acts of terrorism. NIMS benefits include a unified approach to incident management; standard command and management structures; and an emphasis on preparedness, mutual aid, and resources management. NIMS uses the Incident Command System (ICS), defined earlier.
10. NationalinfrastructureProtection Plan (‘NIPJ.): The NIPP provides the unifying structure for the integration of existing and future critical infrastructure and key resources (CIKR) protection efforts and resiliency strategies into a single national program to achieve this goal. The NIPP framework supports the prioritization of protection and resiliency initiatives and investments across sectors to ensure that government and private sector resources are applied where they offer the most benefit for mitigating risk by lessening vulnerabilities, deterring threats, and minimizing the consequences of terrorist attacks and other natural and manmade disasters. The NIPP risk management framework recognizes and builds on existing public and private sector protective programs and resiliency strategies to be cost-effective and to minimize the burden on CIKR owners and operators. The NIPP was developed by the US Department of Homeland Security and clearly defines critical infrastructure protection roles and responsibilities for the Department of Homeland Security; Federal Sector-Specific Agencies (SSAs); and other federal, state or provincial, local, tribal, and private sector security partners. For the Water Sector, the SSA is the US Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA).ANSI AWWA G430-14 pdf download.
