The National Critical Infrastructure is growing and changing, so will this webpage!
The Threat
The current threats to our Nation's critical infrastructure is significant. Of greatest concern to many is the catastrophic long term loss of the electric grid which would produce a cascading failure of most of the other critical infrastructure sectors. The significance of this threat led to the signing of a Presidential executive order directing Federal Agencies to prepare and official recognition of the issue by DOD, DOE and the DHS.
