Investigators need a while to understand the cause of the fire that closed the fire of the fire that closed the airport on Friday, and the cause of the fire that affects the 200,000 travelers. But it does not take long to see how sensitive England is. In this case, a nearby suburban power substation gave a point in Europe’s busiest airport.

HUB airports, the energy requirements of small cities, accurately prioritize the security. Heathrow claims that it is impossible to place energy production in order to securely manage its operations. This is not good enough. It is necessary to determine that this alternative supply is available from the grid and can be changed seamlessly when needed. The wider, regulators, all providers of critical infrastructure should require regular sensitivity and stress assessment.

As the global worldview continues to darken, but not only in the country’s infrastructure, but in the country and society, but rather a shortage of information. UnderSea cables are exposed to the UK until the energy networks.

The pandemic was needed to focus, but it seems that little lessons were learned. One report Last week, long-term durability from the center shows that Britain is worse to meet relatively biological threats before Covid-19. Today, the government has a very low sharp looks of basic information about the place where pharmaceuticals. It makes the coordinated actions very difficult.

However, we can build the right vision and direction. In the 1930s, the government saw the state through a broad reconstruction Whitehall, History of Peter Hennessy’s civil service. Currently, we need the same glory – in a clever way in the government, the civil service covers the main change and a society that covers all.

Talk should be the best national priority accompanied by proper management. The National Security Counselor, the name of the National Security and Security Counselor, is responsible for the Prime Minister. We must learn from work and provide an expert in a specialist to monitor the process management process that is strengthened along Whitehall. In addition, as recommended by the COVID request, an independent foreign body must be established to check their work on the government’s firmness and problem group.

Pat McFadden, who led the leadership of the Cabinet of Ministers, should manage the risk of risk in Whitehall, ensuring that he learned to risk, understand and manage the risks of officials. For decades, the civil service needs to encourage officials to work in the private sector in the private sector, talent, premium innovation and agility. The government promised reform. Should really surrender.

But the government does not have all the answers. There is also part to play in society. Following the newly involuntary citizen, Sweden could create a citizen reserve personnel within the country in connection with the British, emergency reaction and cyber defense education. These measures will not only help build the foundations for the country’s sustainability, but also increase the culture of national responsibility for young people.

The government is considering to spend more expenditure on the UK’s armed services and invest in military industrial skills. This is not enough for the variety of extreme risks we really face. As in the past, we must build a solid country. Fortunately, the fire that affected Heathrow was extinguished and the services were restored. Next time we can not be so lucky.
