National & Regional Emergency Management Preparedness
Comprehensive efforts need to be undertaken by governmental bodies, operators, private sector entities, and other stakeholders, at both national and regional levels to anticipate, prevent, prepare for, respond to, and recover from incidents that could disrupt the functioning of critical infrastructure systems. From risk assessment and identification of potential threats and hazards, to understanding the vulnerabilities of these systems, and the complex interdependencies and cascading failures among different critical infrastructure sectors, developing comprehensive emergency strategies to mitigate them is key to successful resilience.
