National Infrastructure Protection Plan (NIPP)

The National Infrastructure Protection Plan (NIPP) is a strategic framework in the United States designed to protect the nation’s critical infrastructure—such as electricity, water, transportation, and communication systems—from threats like terrorism, cyberattacks, and natural disasters. It promotes collaboration among government agencies, private sector partners, and communities to identify vulnerabilities, share information, and implement security measures. The goal is to ensure these essential services remain resilient, reliable, and safe, supporting the nation’s security, economy, and everyday life through coordinated and proactive efforts.
