Index, which can also be recalculated as Vulnerability way compare differing (eg fence versus training). second Resilience assesses site's resilience consists three primary components: robustness, resourcefulness recovery. third Criticality importance facility. includes economic, human, governance mass evacuation impacts. are being developed part Enhanced Critical Infrastructure Protection initiative DHS advisers implement nation at facilities. This paper describes two core themes: determination vulnerability, criticality facility comparison different
