2010 is the Year of Critical Infrastructure Resilience
TISP is committed to maintaining its level of excellence as it sets a path to a national standard for critical infrastructure security and resilience. As TISP is a partnership of civil and corporate entities, we examined specific functions of security and resilience planning such as continuance of operations, resilient communications, common risk assessment measures and methods, the national strategy for disaster recovery, homeland defense, and homeland security, interdependencies, life cycle assessments, and the resilience of critical infrastructure. We discovered three subjects with which TISP can utilize its core functional resources to advance the security and resiliency of our nation's critical infrastructure. By developing public private partnership initiatives to address these subjects TISP enables many possibilities such as the development of an entity capable of pre-assessing disasters to determine loss of infrastructure and resources and the impact of the loss on scale of the nation, regions, states, and communities. TISP's primary programs for 2010 -2011 include:
1. Thought Leadership at the Intersection of Homeland Security, Emergency Management, and Risk Science.
2. Update the Regional Disaster Resilience Guide and develop a new Critical Infrastructure Resilience Guide.
3. Incorporate Resilience in the Whole Infrastructure/Build Criteria.
TISP is conducting a survey of the uses and advises of the Regional Disaster Resilience: A Guide for Developing an Action Plan. The survey is being conducted through Zoomerang. Responders should be able to complete the survey in 15 – 20 minutes. The information gathered in this survey is confidential and will only be used to validate developing resources supporting RDR Guide and CIR Guide program initiatives. TISP intends to aggregate survey responses and share the results with members of the Critical Infrastructure Resilience Committee (CIRC).
