Question

we learned about the National Infrastructure Protection Plan, and the many areas considered critical infrastructure in the United States. Protecting all of them is a priority, but some will, naturally, be easier to protect than others. Considering the critical infrastructure in the United States, which do you think are the easiest to protect, and why? Which are the most difficult, and why?

Answer 1

USA critical Infrastructure includes areas such as agriculture,food,water,energy,transportation and emergency service sector that is needed by americans to survive. All these areas are important such as Information and technology provides way for another infrastructure sectors to grow. Transportation, Banking and finance provides the base for everyday working of the economy.Hence each sector has equal importance. Transportation sector is important but not each flyover is most important for economy.So,the federal government will focus on the priority sectors such as schools and courthouses meant to serve masses.Key assets of the America such as national symbols and historical attractions deserve special protection because of their value and destructive potential. Homeland security in terms of terrorists threats and cybersecurity is difficult to maintain because for this industry and federal government together not take responsibility.
