Abstract
Critical national infrastructures for power, emergency services, finance, and other basic industries rely heavily on information and telecommunications networks (voice, data, Internet) to provide services and conduct business. While these networks tend to be highly reliable, outages do occur which can have cascading effects to other infrastructures. This paper describes a dynamic simulation model of a power outage which cascades to impact telecom for services without power back-up, which cascades to impact emergency services 911 calling, which causes increased severity of injuries.
