2024 Hennepin County All -Jurisdiction Hazard Mitigation Plan <br />Volume 2 — Hazard Inventory <br />CRITICAL INFRASTRUCTURE & CRITICAL FACILITY INDEX (CFI) RANKING <br />Critical facilities and infrastructure are those that are essential to the health and welfare of the population. <br />These become especially important after a hazard event. Critical facilities typically include police and fire <br />stations, schools, and emergency operation centers. Critical infrastructure can also include roads and <br />bridges that provide ingress and egress and allow emergency vehicles access to those in need, and the <br />utilities that provide water, electricity, and communication services to the community. <br />7.1. Critical Facilities Index (CFI) Numbering Scoring System <br />For this update to the mitigation plan, Hennepin County Emergency Management (HCEM) ranked the <br />restoration priority of a facility using a score index of 1 to 5, 1 being the most critical to the overall health <br />of the community. Jurisdiction understand this as those critical facilities within their community that must <br />operate during times of disaster. The score is identified as an "all -hazards" CFI, which applies to private <br />and public critical facilities and is directly related to business continuity and continuity of government. <br />The following are definitions of each score index: <br />• CFI Priority 1: facility is identified as "critical" to public health, safety. These include Hospitals and <br />emergency medical facilities, emergency shelters, fire stations, police stations, prisons/jails, fire <br />rescue facilities, water pumping and wastewater facilities, major communication facilities, major <br />flood control structures, financial institutions, military installations, and critical electric utility <br />facilities. If possible, must be operational within 2 hours. <br />• CFI Priority 2: facility may include some of the same types of facilities described for CFI Priority 1. <br />These facilities provide significant public services but are deemed to be somewhat less critical by <br />government agencies. These include Nursing homes, major water and sewer facilities, fire and <br />police stations, minor flood control structures, fuel transfer/loading facilities (ports), airports, <br />schools and park facilities used to support other critical government purposes. If possible, must <br />be operational within 8 hours. <br />• CFI Priority 3: facility may include some of the same types of facilities described for CFI Priority 2 <br />above. These facilities provide public services but are deemed to be somewhat less critical by <br />government agencies. These include apartment complexes for the elderly, assisted living <br />facilities, grocery distribution/large cold storage facilities, local water and sewer facilities, local <br />fire and police stations, medical service facilities (such as dialysis centers) and facilities having <br />critical impact on the environment. If possible, must be operational within 48 hours. <br />• CFI Priority 4: These facilities provide public services but are deemed to be somewhat less critical <br />by government agencies, and include: supermarkets, banks, gas stations, hotels/motels, and <br />lodging. If possible, must be operational within 72 hours. <br />• CFI Priority 5: These facilities provide a public service but are deemed to be less critical that the <br />other priority tiers. <br />CFI is used by HCEM with the intent for the coordination of restoration and post disaster economic <br />re -development and in coordination with infrastructure service providers. This information is intended to <br />improve communication with local EOCs and other coordination centers during any type of emergency <br />249 <br />
