VSAT is a risk-assessment software tool for water, wastewater, and combined utilities of all sizes. The tool assists drinking water and wastewater owners and operators in performing security threats and natural-hazards risk assessments, as well as updating utility emergency response plans. EPA, in collaboration with water-sector partners, has updated VSAT to be consistent with the 2007 Risk Analysis and Management for Critical Asset Protection framework. The upgraded tool includes a new user-interface, an enhanced natural-disaster threat assessment process, and a revised risk-assessment approach. VSAT 5.0 software will provide the following benefits:
- an intuitive process with improved navigation and enhanced work-tracking features
- an improved analytical approach that will make consequence, vulnerability, and likelihood of occurrence assessments of threats more transparent
- a natural-disaster assessment process supported by historical information to enable likelihood determinations
