Collaboration, Information Sharing and Enhancing PPPs
Information sharing and cooperation is crucial for effective risk management and resilience planning. By fostering collaboration among government, operators, and communities, we can enhance the protection of critical infrastructure. However, barriers to information sharing and cooperation persist, partly due to trust. To overcome these challenges, we must build trust and create a supportive environment that encourages open communication and knowledge exchange.
