Dr. John E. Thomas is a Scholar in Residence with University of Colorado, explains how critical infrastructures are essential to public health, safety, and well-being but they are inherently vulnerable to unanticipated disruptions that can impact businesses, technical operations, supply chains, and daily life across local, regional, and global scales. The cascading effect of complex system breakdowns reflects the interdependence among systems and adds to the complexity of effective resilient response, which often requires interaction across multiple operating domains in public, private, and commercial sectors. Dr. Thomas introduces resilience engineering concepts and frameworks relevant to unanticipated social, ecological, and technological system disruptions or surprises.
