The LABEOC is monitoring the increased threat of saltwater intrusion in the Mississippi River. GOHSEP is now operating at a Level-3 Activation with select agencies.

 
The LABEOC has coordinated with GOHSEP to combine the GOHSEP logistics coordination meeting with the LABEOC private sector update concerning the saltwater intrusion in the greater New Orleans area. The updates will be hosted by the LABEOC, but GOHSEP operations will participate in the calls.  This call will replace the Friday call that was previously held and will continue while the threat to the water systems in New Orleans remains.

The LABEOC invites you to a scheduled Zoom meeting concerning the saltwater intrusion in the Greater New Orleans Area.

Center for Critical Infrastructure Cybersecurity (CCIC)

The Center for Critical Infrastructure Cybersecurity (CCIC) brings together multiple and diverse experts from across the University to help our nation prepare for cyberattacks that may impact the country's critical infrastructure.CCIC was founded to examine cybersecurity from the perspective of the cascading impact of a significant cyber incident on the nation’s critical infrastructure, such as that experienced by the 2015 cyberattack on the Ukrainian Power Grid. The Center for the Study of Existential Risk at Cambridge University, UK, now places cyberattacks as a “blue sky hazard” that can take an entire power grid down for a prolonged period. A consequence of such an attack would extend beyond the loss of data; it could completely disrupt the functioning of society, much like a large-scale natural disaster.
