An Equity-Based Perspective on Systemic Risk and Critical Infrastructure

Published Feb 21, 2024

Underserved communities are vulnerable to disruptions stemming from risks to the nation's critical infrastructure. These communities may rely on "alternative infrastructure" (infrastructure that is critical to their needs but falls outside of traditional analyses of critical infrastructure). Using banking as a case study, the authors argue for greater focus on this issue to achieve more equity in protecting infrastructure in these communities.
