Critical Infrastructure Systems Resilient Interventions and Strategy
The document proposes interventions and strategies to make critical infrastructure systems more resilient. It discusses making transportation systems like airports, roads, railways and waterways more resilient, as well as power, telecommunications, digital infrastructure, water supply, and health infrastructure. Some strategies proposed include improving standards and certification, risk identification and assessment, capacity building, innovation and emerging technologies, financing, and community-based and nature-based approaches. The overall aim is to strengthen implementation of global frameworks and improve coordination between stakeholders to enhance critical infrastructure resilience.

Editor's Notes
- #3 Adaptation is determined by the internal processes of an organization focused on the strengthening of resilience.
- #6 Power Outage – Texas Power due to cold (framework to ‘build back better’ and more resilient. It will raise awareness and increase understanding of risk management among the power sector stakeholders. This will strengthen their capacity to take adaptive actions to mitigate these risks and cope with the impacts of future disasters) - uprooted electric poles and damaged transformers and accessories
