This workshop is part of a project that is looking into the long-term degradation of Critical Infrastructures (CI) especially with regards to any degradation due to interdependencies of the CI. Though all CI are open for discussion at the workshop, the focus will be on the lifeline sectors: transportation, emergency services, water, energy, healthcare and communication. The outcome of the workshop is to gain a better understanding of long-term CI degradation vulnerabilities, and potentially identify previously unknown interdependencies and risks.

The event is by invitation only workshop and is sponsored by a grant from the Virginia Department of Emergency Management (VDEM). If you wish to participate, please email us at ajcollin@odu.edu or efrydenl@odu.edu. Lunch will be provided but federal employees are able to pay for the lunch if they wish. If required, we can supply you will local hotel information and rates.  Marriott TownPlace Suites and Courtyard Marriot are available at per Diem rates.
