All-Hazards Risk and Resilience: Prioritizing Critical Infrastructure Using the RAMCAP Plus Approach - Softcover

Inhaltsangabe

RAMCAP stands for Risk Analysis and Management for Critical

Asset Protection. This publication provides an understanding of

the RAMCAP PlusSM process as applied to a broad array of critical

infrastructures, ranging from industrial facilities (e.g., water systems)

to college campuses. The approach includes protection

(avoiding hazardous events or their consequences), and

resilience (rapid return to full function after those events that

occur). By using common definitions, threats, metrics and methods

to directly compare risk, resilience, and risk management

benefits, decision-makers can better allocate limited resources--

whether to individual assets and facilities or whole industries and

sectors of the economy. The RAMCAP PlusSM process is being

developed as an American National Standard.
