Critical Infrastructure That We Taake For Granted - Interconnected and Vulerable
with Clair Olivers
This seminar will discuss the basics of Critical Infrastructure – utility and transportation systems and their interdependence, including how we incorrectly assume these essential facilities will always be there for us. Emergency preparedness and response will be reviewed, including risks, efforts at hardening/protecting key facilities, and single points of failure. Some recovery issues will be presented. A brief presentation is planned, followed by discussion regarding the above, what local impacts might look like, and other topics of interest to the attendees.
