201   Relationship to Other Resilience Frameworks A P P E N D I X A A variety of resilience-oriented frameworks have been developed by many different organizations and groups for a range of purposes. This has caused some confusion in the transportation profession about what approach should be used. Table 41 identifies some of these major resilience frameworks and their relationship to the Framework. The other frameworks are presented in the reverse date of publication and are focused on examples from the United States (for international examples, see a review by the Overseas Development Institute). As noted at the beginning of this guide, the Framework and its associated self-assessment tool provide a unique overarching perspective on organizational capability for implementing resilience-oriented actions. The guide offers guidance on how to make a transportation agency more capable in planning, providing, operating, and maintaining a resilient transportation system. Many of the other frameworks noted in the table can be used within the overall context of the Framework and the self-assessment tool. Determining organizational capability and capacity, however, needs to be done systematically and requires its own comprehensive analysis approach.

ProjectID=4260 Cyber Resilience Review DHS 2017 Focus on cyber protection, assessment seeks to understand an organization’s capacities and capabilities in performing, planning, managing, measuring, and defining cybersecurity practices and behaviors in ten domains: (1) asset management, (2) controls management, (3) configuration and change management, (4) vulnerability management, (5) incident management, (6) service continuity management, (7) risk management, (8) external dependency management, (9) training and awareness, and (10) situational awareness. Tool is a useful more detailed approach for conducting risk assessments by cyberattacks and could be used in concert with this guide for such threats. https://us-cert.cisa. gov/sites/default/ files/c3vp/crr-fact- sheet.pdf Vulnerability Assessment and Adaptation Framework, 3rd Edition FHWA 2017 A manual that helps transportation agencies and their partners assess the vulnerability of transportation infrastructure and systems to extreme weather and climate effects. It also examines how agencies can integrate climate adaptation considerations into transportation decision-making. A framework provides an in-depth and structured process for conducting a vulnerability assessment. The framework describes the primary steps involved in conducting a vulnerability assessment. For each step, the framework features examples from assessments conducted nationwide between 2010 and 2017 and includes links to related resources that practitioners can access for additional information. Provides approaches to conduct vulnerability assessments and for incorporating results into decision-making. https://www.fhwa.dot. gov/environment/ sustainability/ resilience/adaptation_ framework/

DHS – Department of Homeland Security NCHRP – National Cooperative Highway Research Program NIST – National Institute of Standards and Technology Community Resilience Guide NIST 2016 For each hazard type, transportation infrastructure assets are identified and categorized by function. For transportation systems operations, resilience measurement focuses on a “bouncing back” aspect of resilience. The Guide highlights the interdependencies of the transportation sector with other sectors. Provides a broad community perspective on resilience within which transportation systems constitute one component. https://www.nist.gov/ community- resilience/planning- guide

Transportation officials recognize that a reliable and sustainable transportation system is needed to fulfill their agency’s mission and goals.

The TRB National Cooperative Highway Research Program's NCHRP Research Report 970: Mainstreaming System Resilience Concepts into Transportation Agencies: A Guide provides transportation officials with a self-assessment tool to assess the current status of an agency’s efforts to improve the resilience of the transportation system through the mainstreaming of resilience concepts into agency decision-making and procedures. The tool can be applied to a broad array of natural and human-caused threats to transportation systems and services. The report is related to NCHRP Web-Only Document 293: Deploying Transportation Resilience Practices in State DOTS.

Supplemental materials to the report include a Posters Compilation and the Program Agenda from the 2018 Transportation Resilience Innovations Summit and Exchange, and a PowerPoint Presentation on resilience.
