critical infrastructure resilience

Critical infrastructure resilience refers to the ability of essential systems—such as power, water, transportation, and communication networks—to withstand, adapt to, and recover quickly from disruptions like natural disasters, cyberattacks, or accidents. It involves planning and implementing measures to ensure these vital services remain available or are restored rapidly, minimizing societal and economic impacts. Building resilience ensures that communities can continue functioning smoothly even in challenging circumstances, supporting overall safety, security, and quality of life.
