Resilience month

by Mark Rowe

In the United States, November 2013 is Critical Infrastructure Security and Resilience Month. For more, visit the US federal Department of Homeland Security website. Setting out the month, US President Barack Obama said: “We must continue to strengthen our resilience to threats from all hazards including terrorism and natural disasters, as well as cyber attacks. We must ensure that the Federal Government works with all critical infrastructure partners, including owners and operators, to share information effectively while jointly collaborating before, during, and after an incident. This includes working with infrastructure sectors to harden their assets against extreme weather and other impacts of climate change.”

According to the DHS, Critical Infrastructure Security and Resilience Month will focus on building awareness and understanding of the importance of critical infrastructure to America’s national security and economic prosperity.
