SECTION 3: DEFINITIONS
The following definitions shall apply in ANSI AWWA G430-14.
1. All Hazards: An approach for prevention, protection, preparedness, response, and recovery that addresses a full range of threats and hazards, including domestic terrorist attacks, natural and man-made disasters, accidental disruptions, and other emergencies.
2. Asset: An item of value or importance. In the context of critical water and wastewater infrastructure, an asset is something of importance or value that if targeted, exploited, destroyed, or incapacitated could result in injury, death, economic damage to the owner of the asset or to the community it serves, could result in destruction of property, or could profoundly damage a nation’s prestige and confidence. Assets may include physical elements (tangible property), cyber elements (information and communication systems), and human or living elements (critical knowledge and functions of people).
a. Critical Asset is an asset the absence or unavailability of which would significantly degrade the ability of a utility to carry out its mission or would have unacceptable financial or political consequences for the owner or the community.
3. Business Continuity Plan (BCP): A plan designed to maintain essential business functions and preserve the utility’s ability to perform its mission or function during an incident and recovery. For example, a BCP should be designed to preserve the utility’s ability to acquire and pay for essential supplies, personnel, components or services; to receive funds; and to maintain a record of all transactions for subsequent accounting, billing, or reimbursement.ANSI AWWA G430-14 pdf download.
