Abstract

Strategic goals help streamlining risk management efforts, and criticality assessments of infrastructures benefit from such goals. This paper offers an introduction into recent German civil protection activities on this topic at national level. It offers a transferable concept on how to identify, document and justify priorities regarding critical infrastructure services. Based on human values it enables to prioritise critical and urgent areas for risk management, in this case in the field of infrastructures. Critical values and key services are identified and then prioritised using time as a criterion. Finally, infrastructure elements are identified and prioritised with a given research unit.
