Provide an example of where a loss of service from another sector limited your sector’s ability to provide adequate services to other sectors(s).

Certain dependencies/interdependencies between Critical Infrastructure sectors are often overlooked when evaluating risk and/or preparing for events, such as the extended freezing temperatures experienced across the South in 2018. The cascading effect(s) of service interruptions can sidetrack even the best laid plans.Provide an example of where a loss of service from another sector limited your sector’s ability to provide adequate services to other sectors(s).

Although retail gas stations were damaged, they did not experience extended power outages. The primary cause for the most severe fuel shortage in NYC history resulted from not receiving fuel shipments.Critical vehicles were unable to obtain fuel. Often customers would wait in gas lines for literally hours only to have the gas station to run out of fuel before they arrived at the pump.Complicated by the lack of subway and bus service, increased vehicle usage caused standstill traffic on the City’s major roads and highways, leading to gridlock for the general public and interfering with emergency services and the City’s recovery operations.For this Class:MY SECTOR IS EMERGENCY SERVICE SECTOR:

Assignment – Pick 2 of the following 3 questions to answer: (2-3 pages each) (1) By now you’ve digested much about the history of interactions between MENA states and Western actors like the US outlined in Jones (2007), Little (2010), Kamrava (2011), and other readings. Using these and other assigned sources, present an argument about what the role of the US should be for MENA states experiencing political or social upheavals, or ongoing Arab Spring movements.

(b) Have the Arab Spring movements discredited non-state actors such as terror groups, or enabled them? (3) Jones’ (2007) book Negotiating Change contains a series of chapters each focusing on specific MENA states. Select one of these chapters and review the case study of one particular country. Given that Jones’ book pre-dates the Arab Spring by several years, how do you rate his assessment of the country in question? What updates need to be made? What are the prospects for democracy in this country and is democracy the best answer?
