Abstract
Because the communities of expertise, decision-making, and policymaking about risk management for infrastructures have traditionally been focused on single categories, such as water or transportation, the existing knowledge base about cross-sectoral interactions and interdependencies is limited, at least in research studies published in the open literatures. As indicated above, recent simulation and analysis initiatives related to national security concerns have provided powerful evidence that cross-sectoral analysis is both possible and illuminating; but the research needs for the topic of this technical input paper are profound, if questions about climate change implications are to be answered in the longer run. In fact, a high priority should be given to verifying and validating the report's assessment findings, especially where the current evidence is not strong.
