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

This stream monitors all infrastructure incidents that affect roads and traffic patterns. Overall, users will receive alerts about incidents that may be disruptive to road transport.

We recommend using this stream to monitor for traffic disruptions such as flooded roads, landslides, or closures.

Mass Transit Disruption

This stream monitors all infrastructure incidents that affect mass transit operations. Overall, users will receive alerts about incidents that are delaying or blocking mass transit operations.

We recommend using this stream to monitor for incidents affecting transit lines such as buses or trains.

Industry

This stream monitors all incidents that may have a general impact on supply chains and industry operations. Overall, users will receive alerts about a wide breadth of infrastructure incidents that may impact operations.

We recommend using this stream to monitor for incidents affecting topics such as the energy sector, oil and gas, or space.
