Critical infrastructure resilience and emergency management (CIREM)

In an era where emergencies and disasters are increasing in cost, frequency, and complexity, the public expects communities to be resilient, governments to be prepared, and critical infrastructure to withstand disruptions. Modern regulatory frameworks are demanding more risk assessments, emergency planning, and emergency exercises. There is an urgent need to understand how climate change is affecting current and future risk.
