November is Critical Infrastructure Protection and Resilience Month

The President has declared November 1 is the start of Critical Infrastructure Protection and Resilience Month.  All of us rely on critical infrastructure like power, water, transportation and communications systems to sustain the way we live and work, but how many organizations have taken steps to build a robust business continuity plan that takes into account risks to the infrastructure that supports your operations? (Don’t forget – much of the infrastructure that supports you business may be located in other states or communities.)
In partnership with our colleagues at the DHS National Protection and Program Directorate’s Office of Infrastructure Protection, we encourage you to learn more about critical infrastructure and potential impacts throughout your supply chain, as well as steps you can take to mitigate these impacts.  You can also start an online discussion to share your tips, tweets, questions, links to good articles, and comments at #infrastructure.
Stay tuned for additional tips and information on other critical infrastructure protection and resilience resources throughout the month.
