Natural Disasters and Cyberattacks: Lessons from Extinction Events
summary
Hurricane Ian makes landfall as a category five that drops to a four plus then ushers six feet of surge inland, knocking out power and forcing improvised rescue with kit bags, generators and paper notes because satellite phone and cellular priorities are not universally in place. An October 7th style attack shows WhatsApp chaos, false alert hacks of civil warning apps, 160k reservists swelling to ~400k mobilized, and real‑time sensor fusion with AI saving lives while firms endure 10–20% staff gaps. Read CSA’s straw man incident response plan.
