Publisher's Synopsis
The National Infrastructure Protection Plan (NIPP) provides the unifying structure for the integration of critical infrastructure and key resources (CIKR) protection efforts into a single national program. The NIPP provides an overall framework for integrating CIKR protection and resiliency programs, strategies, and activities. It identifies the need for a Sector-Specific Plan (SSP) for each of the sectors, which are strategically based by design - the intention of the SSPs is to complement the response-based National Response Framework. The SSPs describe the application of the overall risk management framework for each of the 18 critical infrastructure sectors.
