The Infrastructure Category and Infrastructure Incidents
The Infrastructure category aims to capture all infrastructure incidents occurring across the globe. Infrastructure Incidents in samdesk all have an impact on critical infrastructure and infrastructure operations. The category is broken up into six streams:
Urgent and Developing
This stream monitors all significant infrastructure incidents that have been identified as having a high impact. Overall, users will receive alerts about the most disruptive infrastructure incidents and useful updates from samdesk's analyst team.
We recommend using this stream to monitor high impact infrastructure incidents such as critical infrastructure collapse or major supply chain disruptions.
Infrastructure Damage
This stream monitors all infrastructure incidents involving direct damage or disruption of physical infrastructure. Overall, users will receive alerts about harmful incidents affecting infrastructure assets.
We recommend using this stream to monitor for incidents affecting physical infrastructure such as storm damage or bridge collapses.
Utilities and Public Service
This stream monitors all infrastructure incidents that affect utilities and public services. Overall, users will receive alerts about incidents that have caused limited access to or completely cut off access to utilities and public services.
We recommend using this stream to monitor for utilities outages such as network outages, gas leaks, or water outages.
Roads and Traffic
