“…One of the seven core global targets defined in the Sendai Framework for Disaster Risk Reduction 2015-2030 is to 'substantially reduce disaster damage to critical infrastructure and disruption of basic services' as well as 'to promote the resilience of new and existing critical infrastructure, including water, transportation and telecommunications infrastructure, educational facilities, hospitals and other health facilities, to ensure that they remain safe, effective and operational during and after disasters in order to provide life-saving and essential services'. (UNDRR, 2015) This target is, worldwide, of particular relevance as the 21st century is characterized by major natural hazards (e.g., extreme weather events due to climate change) (Priscoli & Hiroki, 2015;Liu et al, 2016) and new security policy hazards (e.g., asymmetric conflicts, international terrorism, fundamentalism of various forms, and associated military conflicts) (Pescaroli & Alexander, 2016). Both types of hazards can potentially harm CI (BMI, 2009;Urlainis et al, 2014;Liu et al, 2016;Pescaroli & Alexander, 2016).…”
