Critical Infrastructure Database
Commercial-off-the-shelf (COTS) databases that catalogue critical infrastructures have been developed over the years by public utility/safety commissions, private corporations, and others. These COTS databases were identified and assessed for potential use with a Geographical Information System. Results of these assessments, including public safety assets, such as fire and police departments; public and private water systems; transportation systems; oil and gas distribution; electrical power grid; telecommunications facilities; or, others as identified under Presidential Decision Directive (PDD) 63, have been compiled into a Critical Infrastructure Database (CIDB). The database facilitates internet access to ensure that databases are the most current.
The CIDB is a restricted document available only to Federal, State, and local governments involved in security and counter-terrorism activities. Contractors providing security services to these agencies may also procure the document. All orders must first be confirmed by the Technical Support Working Group (TSWG) prior to being sent to the Government Printing Office (GPO).
The CIDB CD ROM is available from the Government Printing Office for $22.00 each. To order, cite stock number 008-001-00163-1.
To order this document, first send an e-mail request for quantity desired to pubs@tswg.gov, and include contact name, organization name, address, and telephone number. Security contractors must also provide similar sponsoring government agency information. Confirmation of the order will be approved via e-mail with an approval number. The documents can then be ordered from GPO, accompanied by a copy of the confirmation e-mail and approval number, as follows:
