Readers will find analyses of interdependencies and cascading failures; case studies of disasters, cyber-physical incidents, and recovery; and frameworks for resilience, continuity, and standards compliance, including climate adaptation and modernization of smart, digital systems. The category spans technical handbooks, policy and strategy texts, academic research, investigative and case-based studies, and practitioner guides, serving engineers, planners, security and emergency management professionals, and informed readers interested in safeguarding the foundations of contemporary life.
