Hurricanes can cause immense infrastructure damage. This was seen in 2017 with Hurricane Maria in Puerto Rico, where 95% of the island's electricity was affected. In some areas, it took longer than 6 months for full restoration ("Another Major Blackout," 2018). In 2018, Hurricane Michael devastated parts of the Gulf Coast, including 4.7 billion dollars of damage to a military base (Wilson, 2019).

Using either of these major natural disasters as a reference point, discuss why you think completing a threat and vulnerability assessment is important for critical infrastructure.
