- Summary:
- The safe and continued functioning of critical infrastructures - such as electricity, natural gas, transportation, and water - is a social imperative. Yet the complex connections between these systems renders them increasingly precarious. Furthermore, though we depend so heavily on interconnected infrastructures, we do not fully understand the risks involved in their failure. 'Reliability and Risk' argues that designs, policies, and laws often overlook the knowledge and experiences of those who manage these systems on the ground-reliability professionals who have vital insights that would be invaluable to planning.
