In May, we hosted a gathering of supply chain principals and operators with experience in food, water, medical goods, fuel, trucking, telecommunications, and electrical power, as well as public sector participants representing emergency management, infrastructure protection, civil and environmental engineering, homeland security, and councils of government.

Cicerone, President of the National Academy of Sciences, answered these questions during a discussion about building resilience through science.
