RAMCAP stands for Risk Analysis and Management for Critical
Asset Protection. This publication provides an understanding of
the RAMCAP PlusSM process as applied to a broad array of critical
infrastructures, ranging from industrial facilities (e.g., water systems)
to college campuses. The approach includes protection
(avoiding hazardous events or their consequences), and
resilience (rapid return to full function after those events that
occur). By using common definitions, threats, metrics and methods
to directly compare risk, resilience, and risk management
benefits, decision-makers can better allocate limited resources--
whether to individual assets and facilities or whole industries and
sectors of the economy. The RAMCAP PlusSM process is being
developed as an American National Standard.
