Public utilities are not only a preferred target of terrorists but can also be used as a weapon to launch chemical or biological attacks against human populations. As utilities move into a new era of security, the adoption of sound security policies, procedures, and guidelines are of the utmost importance, along with the development of a formal business continuity plan or to update existing plans to address these new scenarios that could possibly occur. The development of the business continuity plan must include Federal, State, and Local law enforcement and emergency services personnel to ensure all bases are covered before, during and after an incident.
Utilities are constantly reminded of how easy it is to access their facilities and control systems.
Because of heightened security requirements within the United States and due to the volatility of the business environment for utilities, federal regulators, and Congress are finally seeing the need to ensure that utilities and energy industries are secure. This consortium of interests is attempting to advise the utilities and their commercial clients and customers on protecting physical plant and associated assets against the potential impact of terrorist attacks against critical national energy and power infrastructures.
