The resilience of Canada’s Critical Infrastructure is a topic of constant discussion among emergency management and public safety officials at all levels. The interdependencies in modern critical infrastructure are highly complex and failure in one area could have cascading effects across the broad range of critical infrastructure, magnifying the impact. Ultimately, Canada’s resilience, right down to the community level, is heavily dependent on the critical infrastructure that serves us.

While it is impossible to predict emergencies, the lessons learned from recent events can provide invaluable insights into building resilience to a variety of future hazards. So how resilient is our critical infrastructure now? And where do we go from here?
