Cyber security experts rightly worry about the possibility of bringing an entire economy to a halt by attacking and disabling the control systems in its electrical, communication, and transportation networks. Admittedly, the impact of natural disasters is less systemic; but if a calamity takes out key components of networks that lack redundancy and backup, the effects are similar.
碳安全专家的担心是正确的：袭击电力、通信和交通网络的控制系统并使之瘫痪可能导致整个经济陷入停顿。诚然，自然灾害的影响不那么具有系统性；但如果一场灾害袭击了缺少充足性和后援的网络的关键部分，将造成类似影响。即使是快速反应，如果关键网络和系统——特别是电网——恢复力强的话也将更为有效。
