  1. ASCE COMMITTEE ON CRITICAL INFRASTRUCTURE (CCI)

  2. American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE) • Founded in 1852 • Oldest national civil engineering organization • Represents 140,000+ civil engineers in private practice, government, industry, and academia • World’s largest publisher of civil engineering textbooks, books, journals and magazines • 501(c)(3) nonprofit educational and professional society

  3. Committee on Critical Infrastructure (CCI) • Created in January 2005 • Provide vision, guidance, and direction on activities related to multihazard protection of critical infrastructure • Ensure ASCE proactive leadership role • Build critical infrastructure related coalitions • Identify required resources and funding sources

  4. Prepare, Respond, Recover

  5. Vision • ASCE is a recognized leader in incorporating resilience into multihazard planning, design, preparedness, procurement, construction, operation and management, mitigation, response, and recovery of critical infrastructure

  6. Mission • CCI provides insight and guidance to ASCE on its internal and external activities related to critical infrastructure resilience • CCI identifies, influences, and facilitates ASCE critical infrastructure activities

  10. Definitions • Critical infrastructure includes systems, facilities, and assets so vital that if destroyed or incapacitated would disrupt the security, economy, health, safety, or welfare of the public. Critical infrastructure may cross political boundaries and may be built (such as structures, energy, water, transportation, and communication systems), natural (such as surface or ground water resources), or virtual (such as cyber, electronic data, and information systems). • Safety denotes a status, which is extensively free of adverse effects or is regarded as non-dangerous. • Security provides protection against attacks, sabotage, acts of violence, or disruption. Security concepts are constructed and used to reach the status of safety. Measures of security are effective when they prevent or mitigate expected and unexpected consequences.

  11. Definitions (continued) • Sensible security is the level of protection provided through design, construction, and operation that mitigates adverse impacts to systems, facilities, and assets, in proportion to their value to society and their likelihood of being affected by natural and/or man-made events. • Multihazards include significant events such as infrastructure deterioration, natural disasters, accidents, and malevolent acts.

  12. Definitions (continued) • Resilience refers to the capability to prevent or protect against significant multihazard threats and incidents and to expeditiously recover and reconstitute critical services with minimum damage to public safety and health, the economy, and national security

  13. Goals • Promote awareness in ASCE and the general public regarding sensible security and critical infrastructure resilience via planning, design, preparedness, procurement, construction, operation and maintenance, and response, mitigation, and recovery from multihazard conditions • Provide structure, policies, and procedures for ASCE responses to events of national and/or international significance • Ensure that ASCE maintains its proactive leadership role in key national critical infrastructure issues, via internal and external coalitions, as appropriate

  14. Goals (continued) • Facilitate the development of standards, standards of practice, and guidelines to develop critical infrastructure resiliency to multihazard conditions • Evaluate the need for specialty certification for engineers involved with disaster management
