Critical Infrastructure Protection and Continuity Post 9/11 and Post Katrina

April 4 – May 1, 2011

The course objective is to introduce learners to a wide array of issues and concerns
involving the nation's critical infrastructure as that term can be broadly defined in the post
9/11 and post- Katrina world. The topics that will be addressed in this course include the
following:

• the range of critical infrastructure concerns;
• ways in which critical infrastructure concerns have been defined and addressed in the
  past, ways in which they are presently being addressed, and ways in which they could
  be more fully addressed in the future;
• the role that cascading critical infrastructure failures played in the aftermath of
  Hurricane Katrina and other disasters;
• ways of protecting critical infrastructure and providing for critical infrastructure
  continuity and the need to incorporate a comprehensive focus on prevention,
  mitigation, preparedness, response and recovery, and continuity of operations;
• the importance of taking steps to help ensure the reliability, resilience, stability, and
  continuity of critical infrastructure; and
• the need to include an emphasis on the development of disaster resistant or resilient
  communities and regions that includes a concern for disaster resistant and resilient
  infrastructure within those communities and regions and within the nation as a whole.
