Besides exhausting health systems worldwide to their limits, the COVID-19 pandemic also led to an immense burden in almost all other sectors and revealed their interdependencies.
Some sectors are essential for the functioning of our societies and our wellbeing, their disruption or failure can result in grave consequences: the critical infrastructure. Protecting these lifelines of society is a core responsibility of the state and operators of critical infrastructure.
Increasing interdependencies, complex hazards and systemic risks confront us with the challenge of finding new and more resilient approaches to reduce the risk of critical infrastructures failure. A narrow focus on a small set of hazards, by one or two government agencies, is not enough to prevent or respond in time to complex disaster risks. Managing risks to meet the challenges of tomorrow requires commitment and cooperation across levels and sectors. Risk-informed development is a continuous process of addressing complexity – and never neglecting it. Let’s promote resilient critical infrastructure - because all of us rely on one or more of these basic services every day.
The Global Initiative on Disaster Risk Management (GIDRM) aims at promoting critical infrastructure resilience and risk governance to strengthen risk-informed development. More information on [ Ссылка ]
