New
Solutions: Identification of Key Infrastructure for Enhanced
Protection, Increased Financing and Capital Improvements,
Improved Operating Programs, and Regulatory Reforms
As
one looks ahead to long term planning it may be
possible to integrate new “smart infrastructure”
into vital facilities and better provide for upgraded
and protected communications and ICT systems. This
panel explored how to build better infrastructure
and communications systems for the future that can
more effectively cope with disasters and emergencies,
allow civilian and defense systems to talk to each
other and use available information more effectively.
It is hoped that the best ideas in this regard can
somehow be made available to the NSTAC, NCS, COOP
and NIPP processes.
