Vulnerability: Assets likelihood of failure

Criticality: Assets consequence of failure
Answer questions like:

1. Who gets put out of water?
2. What is the impact of lower system demand when isolating part of the system?
3. Where are my rehabilitation funds better spent?
Using the Criticality Analysis Center:

1. Determine network segmentation with the new Isolation valves
2. Find Outage Segments for each failed network segment
3. Run hydraulic engine to find consequence of failure for each Criticality Segment
