The protection of these facilities from the damagingeffects of hazard events is one of the Government of Guam’s top priorities.The FEMA software Hazards United States (HAZUS) identifies the following five majorcategories of critical infrastructure: Essential Facilities, Lifeline (Major) Utilities, TransportationSystems, High Potential Loss Facilities, and Hazardous Material Facilities. All of these majorcategories are included in the analysis in this plan, with the exception of High Potential LossFacilities. This category includes military facilities, nuclear facilities, and dams. These assets areexcluded from analysis for a number of reasons: the military bases are federal facilities andoutside the jurisdiction of the Government of Guam; for security reasons, detailed information onmilitary facilities is generally not available; and the only dam on Guam (Fena Dam) is also afederal facility and outside the jurisdiction of the Government of Guam.The commercial petroleum storage and distribution facilities at or near Apra Harbor are alsoexcluded from analysis. Although the Government of Guam leases some of these facilities tocommercial operators, they are not under the direct control of the Government of Guam. Assuch, they are not analyzed further or included in the critical facility tabulations in thisdocument. Also, to maintain the focus on critical infrastructure, only major roads (not minorroads) are considered in the 2011 Guam HMP (as was the case in the earlier versions of theHMP).4-10
