Ten Steps of Resilient Power

The Ten Steps of Resilient Power (“Ten Steps”) recommend potential actions to implement the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency’s Resilient Power Best Practices Fact Sheet (RPBP Fact Sheet). The RPBP discusses best practices to help prevent short- and long-term outages to critical facilities and sites (excluding electric natural gas utilities).

These Ten Steps recognize that there are trade-offs that often must be made between resilience and budget. The best resilient power solution depends upon (i) the requirements, (ii) the gap between the requirements and the existing solution, and (iii) the budget.
