Solution Preview
National infrastructures are under attack, and if precautions are not put into consideration, the worst can happen. The facts remain that the attacks will not vanish soon, but there are ways of controlling them. Some of the threats are natural calamities. They can happen anytime at any place, and some are unpredictable while others, even if they are predicted, nothing much can be done to prevent them (Amoroso, 2012).
