Strategic Planning for Critical Infrastructures
Developed in partnership with the Washington State National Guard, this online graduate program is designed to train managers in the strategic decision-making required to prevent and counter threats to the country's critical infrastructure and public health.
A blend of strategic planning and systems theory, this program follows a distinctive analytic approach different from the conventional emergency management approach to hazards. Critical systems can be attacked through various means at different points within the system. The analytic approach characteristic of this program seeks to make the critical infrastructures more resilient to break-down, whether caused by terrorist acts, natural hazards, or normal accidents. The approach begins with a systems analysis, to include both process and information flows, and analyses of the system's environment, resources and management.
