CISA Guidance on Essential Critical Infrastructure Workforce (Version 2.0)

Construction now appears 25 times in version 2.0 compared to 4 in the previous version. Most of those additions appear to be in the Energy (13 compared to zero) and Communications and Information Technology (4 compared to 2). New sectors that now reference construction include: “OTHER COMMUNITY- OR GOVERNMENT-BASED OPERATIONS AND ESSENTIAL FUNCTIONS” – (2) and “RESIDENTIAL/SHELTER FACILITIES AND SERVICES” – (3).

There’s now a second reference to construction in the “PUBLIC WORKS AND INFRASTRUCTURE SUPPORT SERVICES” and they have reordered the bullets. Repair now appears 16 times compared to 8 in the previous version. The titles for certain sectors are also different. For example, it used to be “PUBLIC WORKS” and now reads “PUBLIC WORKS AND INFRASTRUCTURE SUPPORT SERVICES.”

HVAC is specifically referenced 7 times in version 2.0, including in the following sections: (1) TRANSPORTATION AND LOGISTICS, (2) PUBLIC WORKS AND INFRASTRUCTURE SUPPORT SERVICES, (3) COMMUNICATIONS AND INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY, (4) OTHER COMMUNITY- OR GOVERNMENT-BASED OPERATIONS AND ESSENTIAL FUNCTIONS, and (5) COMMERCIAL FACILITIES.
