NIAC’s mission is to advise national leadership on complex infrastructure risks and opportunities, ensuring that essential systems remain dependable in the face of evolving threats. Its vision is a nation where critical infrastructure is resilient, adaptable, and capable of supporting public safety, economic growth, and national security. NIAC examines infrastructure issues that cut across sectors and jurisdictions, recognizing that modern infrastructure systems are interconnected and interdependent.
As infrastructure systems face increasing pressures from cyber threats, climate change, aging assets, and global supply-chain disruptions, NIAC plays a vital role in helping the nation anticipate challenges rather than simply react to crises. Its work supports a proactive approach to infrastructure preparedness and continuity. A defining strength of NIAC is its ability to foster meaningful collaboration across sectors. By bringing together leaders from government, industry, and academia, the council helps bridge gaps between policy development and real-world infrastructure operations.
