WASHINGTON – Today, the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) released a companion guide to the Infrastructure Resilience Planning Framework (IRPF), which provides guidance on how local governments and the private sector can work together to plan for the security and resilience of critical infrastructure services in the face of threats. Dubbed the IRPF Playbook, this supplemental manual will assist state, local, tribal, territorial (SLTT) and private sector stakeholders in planning for the security and resilience of infrastructure in their regions.
The IRPF Playbook lists inputs, processes, and fictional scenarios like a recipe to help users better understand how best to implement the IRPF guidance. By walking through the IRPF’s core resilience concepts, users can identify their objectives and develop an approach that incorporates the appropriate elements of the IRPF into their planning activities. The Playbook also includes a narrative hypothetical illustration of how a community might conduct resilience planning or incorporate infrastructure resilience into existing planning efforts using the IRPF.
