Advancing the Culture of Security and Preparedness in the Water Sector
This article discusses two standards and related efforts that reflect the commitment and stewardship of the water sector to ensuring that a vital element of the nation's economy is secure and resilient. The water sector is the only one of the 18 critical infrastructure and key resource (CIKR) sectors, as defined by the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), that has voluntarily completed two rounds of reporting on metrics associated with its sector‐specific plan. The water sector has also strongly embraced the water/wastewater agency response network (WARN) model for providing mutual aid and assistance, and has collaborated with the DHS to develop the “Roadmap to Secure Control Systems in the Water Sector.” More recently, the sector has developed two voluntary, consensus‐based standards to further support utilities in becoming more secure and resilient, specifically ANSI/AWWA G430: Security Practices for Operations and Management, and ANSI/ ASME‐ITI/AWWA J‐100: Risk Analysis and Management for Critical Asset Protection (RAMCAP®) Standard for Risk and Resilience Management of Water and Wastewater Systems.
