The course objective is to introduce learners to a wide array of issues and concerns involving the nation's critical infrastructure as that term can be broadly defined in the post 9/11 and post- Katrina world. Topics addressed in the course include:
• the range of critical infrastructure concerns;
• ways in which critical infrastructure concerns have been defined and addressed in the past, ways in which they are presently being addressed, and ways in which they could  be more fully addressed in the future;
• the role that cascading critical infrastructure failures played in the aftermath of  Hurricane Katrina
