The impact of naturogenic threats to the critical infrastructure

Abstract

This paper is focused on naturogenic threats with the impact on the critical infrastructure. The aim of the paper is to describe the critical infrastructure and analyze the impact of naturogenic threats to them. There is the increasing number of disasters which has an impact on the power outage. These situations can endanger the lives and health of citizens. One of the elements of critical infrastructure is healthcare. There must be provided for the power supply. The first part of the paper deals with the concept of naturogenic threats and critical infrastructure. This part is focused on the cascading effect of the emergencies with the impact of the power outage. Secondly, the paper analyses the elements of the critical infrastructure – healthcare. There are analyzed disasters to the power outage based on the survey. The results are presented based on Pareto analysis. The final part summarizes naturogenic threats with the impact of the critical infrastructure and suggests a solution for the assessment of the hospitals.
