reportActive / Technical Report | Accession Number: ADA502695 | Open PDF

Abstract:

Protecting and ensuring the resiliency of the critical infrastructure and key resources CIKR of the United States is essential to the Nations security, public health and safety, economic vitality, and way of life. Attacks on CIKR could significantly disrupt the functioning of government and business alike and produce cascading effects far beyond the targeted sector and physical location of the incident. Direct terrorist attacks and natural, manmade, or technological hazards could produce catastrophic losses in terms of human casualties, property destruction, and economic effects, as well as profound damage to public morale and confidence. Attacks using components of the Nations CIKR as weapons of mass destruction could have even more devastating physical and psychological consequences.
