Contingency Today is a web-based magazine and the only publication, online or print, dedicated to the challenges and opportunities of Critical National Infrastructure protection. Its readership includes policy-makers, decision-influencers and middle management implementers engaged in emergency planning, disaster recovery and infrastructure protection.
