PANEL DISCUSSION: “The Last Mile” Community Roles in Critical Infrastructure and National Preparedness
Given over 90% of US critical infrastructures are privately owned and operated, how do we make infrastructure preparedness objectively measurable and moreover, personal? The implementation of nationally comprehensive and compatible, objectively measurable and operationally proven solutions are required to correct situational awareness, information and requirements gaps between critical infrastructure sectors, operators and consumers to meet the the Presidential (PPD-21) infrastructure policy goals. ‘Communities’ are “The Last Mile” of critical infrastructure product and service delivery. The panel will focus on this reality and the means to actively engage America’s communities in informing and achieving America’s infrastructure and National preparedness goals.
