TISP disaster resilience guide available for public review

The Infrastructure Security Partnership (TISP) ‘Guide for an Action Plan to Develop a Regional Disaster Resilience’, a product resulting from collaboration among TISP partners, is available for public review before being published in final form later this spring.

TISP encourages stakeholders to read the guide and provide thoughts and recommendations via e-mail to tisp@tisp.org by March 31, 2006 . External review comments will be incorporated into the guide and the finalized version will be published in April 2006.

TISP is a coalition that includes more than 100 organizations representing more than 1.5 million individuals and firms involved in the planning, design, construction, and operation of the US critical infrastructure.

The TISP Guide for an Action Plan to Develop Regional Disaster Resilience will provide a strategy to develop the level of preparedness necessary for communities to deal with major disasters in today’s complex and interdependent world. The guide is meant for government, private sector, and other organizations with specific missions or a vested interest in assuring that the regions in which they reside can withstand the effects of multihazards and respond and recover rapidly when, and if, disaster strikes.

The guide provides key definitions and a set of common assumptions that underpin regional disaster resilience.
