Critical Infrastructure Security and Resilience Month, observed in the month of November, builds awareness and appreciation of the importance of critical infrastructure and reaffirms the nationwide commitment to keep our critical infrastructure and our communities safe and secure. Securing the nation's infrastructure, which includes both the physical facilities that supply our communities with goods and services, like water, transportation, and fuel, and the communication and cyber technology that connects people and supports the critical infrastructure systems we rely on daily, is a national priority that requires planning and coordination across the whole community.
The following link provides additional information about this declared month, offers tips on ways we can get involved and support this initiative and contains a link to the President’s Proclamation made last week: http://www.dhs.gov/critical-infrastructure-security-resilience-month. Additionally, it contains information about 16 specific infrastructure sectors that the nation is focused on protecting. A few of these include communications, critical manufacturing, dams, emergency services, financial, information technology, transportation and water/wastewater.
