COAST GUARD SHORE INFRASTRUCTURE: Processes for Improving Resilience Should Fully Align with DHS Risk Management Framework

Abstract

The Coast Guard, within DHS, owns or leases more than 20,000 shore facilities such as piers, boat and air stations, and housing units at over 2,700 locations. This infrastructure is often positioned on coastlines where it is vulnerable to damage from extreme weather. Noting the importance of protecting critical infrastructure from such risks, in 2013DHS updated its risk management guidance for enhancing infrastructure resilience which is the ability to prepare and plan for, absorb and recover from, or successfully adapt to adverse events.
