On Monday, November 14, 2022, Port General Manager Rory J. Respicio delivered opening remarks for the kickoff of the Guam/CNMI Regional Resiliency Assessment Program (RRAP).
The Port has been nominated by the U.S. Department of Homeland Security’s Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) for Guam and CNMI to receive a comprehensive cyber and physical security assessment of the Port Authority of Guam and the Commonwealth Ports Authority.
CISA leads the national effort to understand, manage, and reduce risk to our cyber and physical infrastructure. The goal of the Guam/CNMI Regional Resiliency Assessment Program (RRAP) is to generate greater understating and action among public and private sector partners to improve the resilience of our region’s critical infrastructure. The program also will resolve infrastructure s ecurity and resilience knowledge gaps, will inform risk management decisions, identify resilience-building opportunities and strategies and improve critical partnerships among stakeholders. The kickoff meeting at the Guam Museum was hosted by the Port Authority of Guam and includes participation from local and federal government agencies, private sector, and NGO partners who will all be involved in the assessment.
