Dr. Massoud Amin, Professor of computer and electrical engineering at
the University of Minnesota delivered an in-depth understanding of the
electrical infrastructure of North America, an historical perspective,
and a vision for its future.
Dr. Richard Andrews, Senior Director for the National Center for Crisis and Continuity Coordination (NC4) detailed the ongoing efforts of planning and preparedness from both the public and private sectors.
Admiral
Plehal, the Business Liaison from the Department of Homeland Security
for Information Analysis and Infrastructure Protection reinforced the
theme to continue the efforts to improve communication and capabilities
collectively. In the afternoon session, key program managers from HSEM,
DoD, and police and fire provided a question and answer session.
A theme throughout the conference was the requirement for improved
communication and information sharing within and between each
organization.
The main goal of the conference was to promote mutual cooperation
amongst the participants. “We’re very interested in learning from our
peers and keeping the communication channels open,” stated Ms. Elizabeth
Stevens, of Target Corporation. “These kinds of events help us all do
our job more effectively.”
MN ISAC plans to have future meetings and conferences to follow-up on
many of the issues that were discussed and address new topics as needed.

Note: A company may be critical to the local or state economy without being critical to the Nation. For this group, participation will be based on criticality at any level between large urban areas and the Nation. A large employer, such as Target, may be critical to the Twin Cities, but not, as a retailer, critical to the Nation. See the Overview for more information.
