Abstract

Large Geographically-distributed and Hardware-based Networks (GHN) act as lifeline systems in providing energy, transportation, telecommunication, drinking water supply and sewage water treatment in any society. From the Civil Security (CS) point of view, it may also be a vector of failure propagation (cascade effects). Numerous disasters highlight the fact that GHN’s service disruption extends the crisis duration (their restoration takes time) and the geographical area of the impacts because of dependencies between GHN. Several tools have been created to simulate dependencies between GHN. This article is a short illustrative catalog for CS Managers, providing various solutions, for modelling and simulating dependencies for/between different critical infrastructures.
