Notes:<br />
a. The types of assets and examples are illustrative rather than comprehensive.<br />
b. These specific criteria are illustrative. There is no universal agreement on the numbers or types of assets shown here. <strong>Local</strong><br />
governments must adjust these criteria to meet local needs.<br />
It is important to inventory key assets and any others that may be important to maintaining essential services that<br />
the local jurisdiction is responsible for, even if the local government does not own or operate them (as in the case<br />
of electricity generating power plants that may be miles away from the jurisdiction’s geographic border). The same<br />
should be done for any/all other non-city assets, such as regional hospitals, State/Federal government buildings,<br />
large commercial buildings, and industrial facilities. As part of the inventory, identify the entity having primary<br />
responsibility for providing energy to each asset, and the type of energy provided. Determine and log who has<br />
primacy for the entity—whether it is the local government or a different entity. This information is some of the most<br />
valuable that can be collected as part of the EAP.<br />
Mapping out key assets in a user-friendly graphic, as shown in Figure 6 (developed by the National Oceanic and<br />
Atmospheric Administration [NOAA] as part of its “community assessment tool”), is another effective element to<br />
consider during EAP development.<br />
