Risks of Critical Infrastructures During War

Abstract

Critical infrastructure becomes one of the main targets in times of war because of its important role in ensuring the functioning of the state and society. Destruction or damage to critical facilities can have catastrophic consequences for security, economy, and the lives of citizens. The article considers current issues related to determining the risk of critical infrastructure in wartime. The ChatGPT chat is used to determine the probability of risks to critical infrastructure facilities. This chat provides a general overview of probabilities based on assumptions made on the analysis of modern wars in Ukraine and other countries. The article assesses the risks to critical sectors during a war. These include: financial institutions (banks); food supply chains (stores, warehouses); energy systems (electricity, transmission); information systems (data centers, Internet); space research and satellite communications centers; educational institutions (schools, research centers); logistics (transportation networks, gas stations); communication systems (mobile networks, radio, television); water supply and sewage systems; health care systems (hospitals, pharmacies). The results are presented in the form of network diagrams. It is shown that modern wars are more dangerous for the population, due to the desire to destroy critical infrastructure and have a negative impact on the population of countries. Risk in the classical form is considered as a combination of two components, namely the probability of an event and its consequences. The issue of critical infrastructure risks is an important issue that has only been paid attention to in the last 20 years. At the same time, the risks of critical infrastructure of settlements during the war were not considered at all. Therefore, the consideration of this issue in this article is important and relevant. The use of ChatJPT to analyze analytical information available on the Internet has proven the effectiveness of such scientific work and the prospects for its further development.
