Summary:

AWWA Standard J100 describes a simple and easy-to-implement process for identifying, analyzing, and managing risks associated with malevolent attacks and naturally occurring hazards against water and wastewater systems. This process is called Risk Analysis and Management for Critical Asset Protection, or RAMCAP. RAMCAP helps utilities identify vulnerabilities in their infrastructure, harden security, improve redundant systems, mitigate property damage and injuries from an event, and return service to normal as quickly as possible. Determined effective by DHS Standard J100 has been awarded SAFETY Act designation by the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS). The Support Anti-terrorism by Fostering Effective Technologies Act of 2002 (SAFETY Act) was enacted by Congress in the wake of the terrorist attacks on Sept. 11, 2001 as an incentive for the creation and deployment of technologies and services with anti-terrorism capabilities. Under the SAFETY Act, both the entity that creates the anti-terrorism security measure and the entity that deploys the anti-terrorism measure are eligible for liability protections. Under the new designation, utilities in the drinking water and wastewater sector have the assurance of knowing that Standard J100 has been vetted by DHS and determined to be effective. DHS has concluded that the proper utilization of this standard will assist in effectively mitigating acts of terrorism from occurring at water facilities.
