“In Section 2 we observed that virtually all top level guidance for critical infrastructure planning focuses on threats from terrorist attacks. Specifically, HSPD-7 defines as its purpose: ‘This directive establishes a national policy for Federal departments and agencies to identify and prioritize United States critical infrastructure and key resources and to protect them from terrorist attacks.’ “Although terrorist threats are obviously acknowledged, this guidance establishes for critical infrastructure mission owners a planning environment that is not aligned with the broader homeland security mission objectives, which incorporate the all-hazards perspective. In particular, HSPD-8 requires “all-hazards preparedness” to connote “preparedness for domestic terrorist attacks, major disasters, and other emergencies”. Given that HSPD-8 establishes policies to strengthen our ability to prevent as well as to respond to all hazards, and that critical infrastructures play a vital role in all related activities, the CITF believes that critical infrastructure planning must also incorporate the all-hazards perspective. The CITF also believes that HSPD7 should be modified to establish a more consistent framework of policy guidance”. (HSAC, Report of the Critical Infrastructure Task Force, January 2006, p. 6)
