Get Ready Alaska – Featuring Ben Hartlieb on Building Infrastructure Resilience

In this episode of Get Ready Alaska, we welcome Ben Hartlieb, Co-Chair of the Alaska Partnership for Infrastructure Protection (APIP), to discuss how Alaska is proactively strengthening its infrastructure and businesses against future disasters.

APIP is a collaborative public-private initiative that brings together government emergency management agencies and private sector stakeholders. APIP recognize that private industries play a crucial role in disaster recovery by restoring essential goods, services, and employment. APIP aims to identify shared vulnerabilities and develop solutions before disasters strike. This foresight ensures a more rapid restoration of services when emergencies occur.

APIP focuses on:

• Resource identification and sharing
• Information management
• Infrastructure sector analysis to address vulnerabilities and interdependencies
• Enhancing awareness of physical and cyber threats
• Strengthening individual business response capabilities
• Facilitating joint exercises and training
