The definitions of "Threat" and "Hazard" are very similar, so maybe the terms do not need to be distinguished. A CI-specific usage example for the above terms can be found on the "Hazard" entry.

Any indication, circumstance, or event with the potential to disrupt or destroy critical infrastructure, or any element thereof. [1]]
The European Commission's CBRN Glossary[2] defines threat as
The likelihood of occurrence of a hazard or event with a harmful effect. In contrast to risk, a threat is not related to the impact it may cause. In the context of public health, a threat is defined as a substance, condition or event, which by its presence has the potential to rapidly harm an exposed population, sufficiently lead to a major crisis[2].
Other International Definitions

US Definition
A natural or manmade occurrence, individual, entity, or action that has or indicates the potential to harm life, information, operations, the environment, and/or property [3].
