Too Critical to Fail synopsis

In the summer of 2013, just as a small city in Quebec was devastated by a train derailment, heavy rains forced 30 Alberta communities to declare a state of emergency. While the SWAT team besieged train leader Thomas Harding and brought him to court where he was charged with the death of forty-seven in Quebec, Calgary Mayor Nehid Ninshi emerged from the Alberta crisis as a popular hero.

With the Lac-Megantic train derailment and flooding in Alberta, the political, economic, legal and cultural climate affects the way disaster is received and managed. In a very critical program of failure, Kevin Quigley, Ben Bisette and Brian Mills define the social context that shapes the Canadian government's ability to prepare for and respond to emergencies.

Using original research on natural disasters, epidemics, industrial failures, cyber attacks, and terrorist threats, authors assess risk management systems that monitor, interpret, and address critical infrastructure failures in Canada to limit their potential and consequences. More broadly, this book identifies key weaknesses and regulatory challenges for both government and the private sector in reducing threats to safety and security.

The "Critical to Failure" application applies a survey of the multiple risks and competition that the government is balancing to secure the assets that enable modern civilization. By asking questions about Canadians' ability to protect vital infrastructure and respond to threats, this book defies biases that determine who is accountable when the system fails..
