A report released by the National Infrastructure Advisory Council (NIAC) cites the systematic legal analysis used by the City of New York as a model for Federal, State and local governments - especially major metropolitan areas - to adopt nationwide in their disaster planning.
NIAC, which was created by Presidential Executive Order immediately following the 9/11 attacks, "provides the President with advice on the security of the 18 Critical Infrastructure and Key Resource (CIKR) sectors and their information systems. These CIKR sectors span the U.S. economy," the NIAC report notes.
That report, "Frameworks for Dealing with Disasters and Related Interdependencies," took more than a year to compile. It reviewed and assessed numerous models for effectively managing catastrophic events.
