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".

“All-Hazards” approach does emphasizes the leveraging of synergies common across hazards and maintaining a streamlined and robust emergency management system. [4]

The “All-Hazards” approach also improves the ability of emergency management activities to address unknown hazards or risks.

All-hazard approach (in Deutsch: All-Gefahransatz) is [6] "taking all (known) hazards into consideration equally, for example when performing a risk analysis, and not only individual areas such as terrorism or sabotage".
