• Critical Infrastructure Sectors
• Objectives of NIDB
• Concept of development for NIDB
• Sources of existing Infrastructure Data
• US Homeland Security Infrastructure Program
• CANUS Cross Border Infrastructure Program
• NIDB Way Ahead for Canada

Six Critical Infrastructure Categories

• Energy and Utilities (electrical power, natural
  gas and oil transmission systems)
• Communications (telecomms, broadcasting systems)
• Services (financial, food distribution, health
  care)
• Transportation (air, rail, marine, surface)
• Safety (nuclear, SAR, emergency services)
• Government (facilities, information networks,
  assets)

4

Objectives of NIDB

• To create a single Critical Infrastructure
  Database for use by all Govt Agencies
• To support Govt planning and Public Safety
  activities.
• To enhance Situational Awareness and provide
  common operating views.
• To improve the coordination of Emergency Response
  in times of crisis.
• To achieve Interoperability with U.S.

Sources of Existing Infrastructure Data

• Y2K Natl Infra Database (NIDB 1.0)
• Strategic Buildings Database
• Imagery over Major Cdn Cities
• CA-US Border Imagery
• National Topographic Database
• National Geographic Database
• CCRS High-Res Imagery
• Other Federal datasets

STRATEGIC BUILDING PROJECT

• Partnership between DND, PSEPC, Elections CA,
  Statistics CA,Treasury Board and NRCan
• Feature data extracted from National Topographic
  Database (NTDB) _at_ 1250K 150K scales
• 42 types of buildings from federal to municipal
  level (each point given 18 attributes)
• Categories of Buildings can be quickly selected
• A good 1st step to identify some critical
  buildings

Cross Border Infrastructure Program (CBIP)

• CBIP to support CA and US Governments
• Joint US NGA CA DND initiative with
  participation from other National Agencies
• Standardization of CA US collection criteria
  for national infrastructure data
• Maximum use of existing public commercial data
• Policies required to address licensing issues and
  sharing of data between CA US
• Tiger team to meet 18-22 Oct 04 to develop a CBIP
  data model and specifications based on US HSIP
• Connectivity and Security issues to be resloved

NIDB - Way Ahead
Potential for cooperation exists between
Federal/Provincial Government Agencies and
Private Industry across Canada US. Federal
level coordination effected through IACG GCC for
Public Safety and GeoConnections Emergency
Response Node. Challenge is to acquire funding
and fuse the data from the various public and
commercial Critical Infrastructure sectors.

• PSEPC, NRCan DND are Lead Federal Govt
  Agencies
• CCOG support for NIDB Resolutions F03-02
  F04-10
• Business case and cost estimates for NIDB by
  Spring 05
• 2M/yr Funding from GeoConnections Renewal TBC

34
Whereas CCOG acknowledges that their federal,
provincial and territorial members possess
numerous Geospatial databases that would be
valuable to assist in the development of an NIDB
and in support of emergency planning and other
operational defence and security activitiesBe
it resolved that CCOG encourages and endorses the
concept that members freely provide necessary
Geospatial data sets as may be requested by
National Defence, or other national security or
emergency coordination agencies (or agents on
their behalf) Be it further resolved that upon
request the data be provided freely for national
defence and security purposes, and that the data
users would not be permitted to re-distribute the
products to third parties which may compromise
Council members existing data distribution and
cost recovery activities.
CCOG 2003 Resolution F03-2

• Geospatial Data Access for National Security and
  Emergency Response Purposes

Conclusion
Critical Infrastructure is a key component of the
Common Operating Picture
