Definitions

European Definitions

While recognising the threat from terrorism as a priority, the European Programme for Critical Infrastructure Protection (EPCIP) considers the protection of critical infrastructure to be based on an all-hazards approach [1]. If the level of protective measures in a particular CI sector is found to be adequate, EPCIP urges stakeholders to "concentrate their efforts on threats to which they are vulnerable".

National Definitions

Germany

All-hazard approach (in Deutsch: All-Gefahransatz) is [2] "taking all (known) hazards into consideration equally, for example when performing a risk analysis, and not only individual areas such as terrorism or sabotage".

USA

A grouping classification encompassing all conditions, environmental or manmade, that have the potential to cause injury, illness, or death; damage to or loss of equipment, infrastructure services, or property; or alternatively causing functional degradation to social, economic, or environmental aspects [4].
