THE IMPACT OF EXTREME EVENTS AND PHENOMENA ON CRITICAL INFRASTRUCTURE
Journal Title: Impact Strategic - Year 2015, Vol 57, Issue 4
Abstract
Extreme meteorological and geophysical phenomena which occurred in Europe and around the world in recent years have raised extremely complex issues related to the organization and management of critical infrastructures – already subjected to increasing level of risk. Conversely, there are numerous uncertainties and an acute lack of information on how critical infrastructure should be managed when confronted with such events. The chaos and uncertainty in this regard may lead to disruptions in transport, energy distribution and, in the most severe cases, to live losses. This paper seeks to highlight the importance of environmental protection towards the critical infrastructure system function.
