Having an awareness of the all-hazards threat landscape and the associated risks that could disrupt critical infrastructure operations is a foundational requirement for every organization’s security program. To help water and wastewater utilities, EPA recently published an updated edition of its “Baseline Information on Malevolent Acts for Community Water Systems.”
FEMA has released Hazus 7.0, marking a significant update to its natural hazard risk modeling software. This is the first version of Hazus available on the ArcGIS Pro platform and it introduces new risk modeling features. Utilities are encouraged to leverage this free tool to help strengthen their resilience and preparedness efforts.
