CISA Updates the Infrastructure Resilience Planning Framework

CISA Updates the Infrastructure Resilience Planning Framework

WASHINGTON – Today, the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) released an updated Infrastructure Resilience Planning Framework (IRPF) to better help state, local, tribal, and territorial (SLTT) planners protect infrastructure. First released in 2021, the IRPF helps SLTT partners to incorporate critical infrastructure resilience considerations into planning activities. It can be used to support capital improvement plans, hazard mitigation plans, and other planning documents, as well as funding requests. Today’s update adds important new resources and tools to better support partners as they face an evolving threat environment.
“Our safety and security depend on the ability of critical infrastructure to prepare for and adapt to changing conditions and to withstand and recover rapidly from disruptions,” said Dr. David Mussington, Executive Assistant Director for Infrastructure Security. “The updates to the IRPF will help planners better understand how to approach future threats and hazards so they can be prepared to meet and recover from an incident. Our collaborative approach with industry and interagency partners enabled CISA to improve the IRPF, which will help the SLTT planning community reduce risks and strengthen resilience.”
The updated IRPF provides stakeholders with new resources and guidance, such as:
