This edition of Critical Infrastructure presents a culmination of
ongoing research and real-work experience, building upon previous
editions. Since the first edition of this work, the domain has seen
significant evolutions in terms of operational needs, environmental
challenges and threats - both emerging and evolving. This work
expands upon the previous works and maintains its focus on those
efforts vital to securing the safety and security of populations.
The world continues to see a shift from a force-protection model to
one more focused on resilience. This process has been exacerbated
and challenged as societies face increased instability in weather
and arguably climate, a destabilized geopolitical situation, and
continuing economic instability. Various levels-ranging from
international oversight to individual actions-continue to work
towards new approaches and tools that can assist in meeting this
challenge. This work keeps pace with the key changes that have
occurred since previous editions and continues to provide insight
into emerging and potential issues. Expanding from historical
research, major areas of interest such as climate change,
regulatory oversight, and internal capacity building are explored.
This work provides a reference for those that are working to
prepare themselves and their organizations for challenges likely to
arise over the next decade. In keeping with the fast-changing
nature of this field, Critical Infrastructure: Homeland Security
and Emergency Preparedness, Fourth Edition has been completely
revised and fully updated to reflect this shift in focus and to
incorporate the latest developments. Presents an overview of some
of the emerging challenges and conflicts between the public and
private sector; Continues to build the case for organizations to
adopt an intelligence-driven and adaptive approach to protecting
infrastructure; Presents a unique and new perspective of
re-examining baseline requirements against a range of shifting
factors, taking a balanced approach between risk-based planning and
consequence management; Expands upon the issue of internal and
lone-wolf threats that pose additional challenges to a system that
continues to focus largely on external threats; and An enhanced and
improved view of interdependencies in an increasingly
inter-connected and network-enabled world. Preparing for the
challenges of increasingly unstable threat and operating
environments will pose challenges at all levels. Those involved in
ensuring that critical infrastructure protection and assurance
efforts function effectively and efficiently-whether as government
regulators, business operators, clients of various infrastructure
sectors or those seeking to maintain an accountable system - will
find insights into less-explored aspects of this challenging field.
