The Office of Infrastructure Protection's Infrastructure Information Collection Division (IICD) leads the Department’s efforts to gather and manage vital information regarding the nation’s critical infrastructure and key resources (CIKR). IICD helps ensure needed infrastructure data is available to homeland security partners by identifying information sources and developing applications to use and analyze CIKR data.
IICD equips federal, state, and local governments with tools for the collection, management, and visualization of infrastructure data to support national preparedness, response, and recovery efforts.
To help homeland security personnel and emergency responders collect and manage information about the critical infrastructure in their communities, IICD provides the Constellation/Automated Critical Asset Management System (C/ACAMS) at no cost to local jurisdictions.
At the federal level, IICD's Methodology Technical Implementation (MTI) team works with the 18 CIKR Sectors to develop automated risk analysis and vulnerability assessment tools. Sector-specific automated tools enable the identification, analysis, and management of risk across sectors.
IICD establishes standards, requirements, and procedures to help ensure the consistency and relevance of data collected. As part of this effort, IICD developed and maintains the Infrastructure Taxonomy, a common terminology for communicating about critical infrastructure.
To enhance information-sharing efforts between the public and private sectors, IICD's Protected Critical Infrastructure Information (PCII) program provides congressionally mandated protections from public disclosure to qualifying critical infrastructure information.
Understanding the infrastructure landscape and how CIKR are interlinked is essential to establishing a comprehensive situational awareness during regular operations and times of crisis.
A suite of Web-based visualization tools available through IICD's Integrated Common Analytical Viewer (iCAV) provide this comprehensive perspective by enabling users to selectively view and analyze data from multiple sources in a dynamic map.
