Mitigation- activities that lessen the impact of a hazard (prevention) involves taking proactive measures to prevent or reduce the possibility of disaster or emergency from occurring, or marginalizing its impact from within the community, by identifying and assessing risk and implementing preventative measures that may reduce the risk.
Preparedness- activities that add resiliency and safety involves organizing and preparing a communities response to emergencies with the foremost objective to save lives and to help response and rescue operations; includes aspects from the development of emergency response plan and the procurement of supplies to educating the community about procedures for disaster response.
Response- activities directly related to responding to an event involves how a community reacts to a disaster, hazard, or emergency situation, including crisis communication and the treatment and protection of key assets, as well as managing and protecting life, property, the environment, and critical infrastructure. Recovery- activities that are geared towards restoring wholeness, can be divided into short term and long term. Involves the timely resumption of a new "normalcy" within the community; in essence, the process and measures necessary for moving from the "disaster" mode to the "normal" mode through treatment/therapy, rebuilding, reorganization, and revitalization. Despite the best efforts to achieve the level of normalcy that existed before an incident, no guarantee exists that normalcy will be recovered completely.

issued by President Bush on 12/17/2003 and titled Critical Infrastructure Identification, Prioritization, and Protection.
The purpose was to create a comprehensive strategic plan that would enhance the ability of all federal agencies to protect the nation's Critical Infrastructure and Key Resources (CIKR).
Three significant aspects
- Authorized the President to designate the Secretary of the Department of Homeland Security as the principal federal official to lead Critical Infrastructure and Key Resources protection efforts among federal departments and state, tribal, and local governments with the objective of protecting against terrorism.
-Directed the Department of Homeland Security to identify all CIKR within the US, determine security vulnerabilities, and to prioritize and develop new protective safety measures. Critical infrastructures and key resources are " those assets, systems, and networks whether physical or virtual, so vital that their failure or destruction would have a debilitating impact upon security, continuity of operations, public health and safety, public confidence, or any combination of the effects."
-Improved critical infrastructure protection by establishing a framework for the Department of Homeland Security partners to identify, prioritize, and protect the critical infrastructures known as the National Infrastructure Protection Plan. The NIPP provides our nation with guidance to achieve the complex task of protecting our nation's CIKR.
The goal of the NIPP is to "Build a safer, more secure, and more resilient America by preventing, deterring, neutralizing, or mitigating the effects of deliberate efforts by terrorists to destroy, incapacitate, or exploit elements of our nation's CIKR and to strengthen national preparedness, timely response, and rapid recovery of CIKR in the event of attack, natural disaster, or other emergency.
