Joshua Corman, IST Executive in Residence for Public Safety and Resilience, joined the House Committee on Science, Space, and Technology’s Environment Subcommittee for a hearing on research-driven resilience. He shared with members of Congress how exploitation of the weaknesses in our nation’s water and wastewater systems could result in cascading disruptions, with significant environmental and public health impacts. In his testimony, he drew lessons from UnDisruptable’s consequence-driven, cyber-informed engineering (CIE) approach, which emphasizes physical interventions and thinks about how when cybering up isn’t an option, the alternative is to “consequence down.”
