Cyber targets water management

A holistic approach for assessing impact of extreme weather on critical infrastructure

Urban infrastructures are essential to the health, safety, security and economic well-being of citizens and organisations. Therefore, the managers of critical infrastructures (CI) and infrastructure systems in urban areas need to be constantly aware of and prepared for to any man-made and natural disasters. In this paper, we propose a structured...

Critical infrastructure assessment by emergency management

Large scale emergencies such as a large scale flooding or a devastating storm can severely impact Critical Infrastructures (CI). Since a subsequent disruption or even destruction of CI may increase the severity of an emergency, it is important for emergency management organizations to include an impact assessment of CI in their risk management,...

European risk assessment methodology for critical infrastructures

Most risk assessment methodologies aim at the risk at the level of an individual organization or company. The European Union commissioned a study to define the elements for a uniform and scalable risk assessment methodology which takes into account critical infrastructure dependencies across organizations and sectors. The method can be applied...

Critical infrastructure dependencies 1-0-1

Most of our critical infrastructures consist of complex systems-of-systems that provide services or products. The coupling mechanism between the chained systems in such complex systems of systems is dependencies. Dependencies may propagate cascading failures. Most studies on dependencies in infrastructures are based on either an economic model...
