NIAC Report Details Grid-Catastrophe Vulnerabilities

摘要

While not specifically referencing Armageddon, the National Infrastructure Advisory Council (NIAC) has released a report, "Surviving a Catastrophic Power Outage," that may not be too far away from that scenario. The NIAC is composed of senior executives from industry, as well as state and local governments, who own and operate the critical infrastructure essential to modern life. President George W. Bush established it by executive order in 2001 to advise the president on practical strategies for industry and government to reduce complex risks to the designated critical infrastructure sectors.
