In the presidential message for Critical Infrastructure Security and Resilience Month, the administration emphasizes the critical role of the nation’s infrastructure in maintaining security, economic stability, and public safety. The message reaffirms a commitment to enhancing infrastructure by focusing on modernizing energy systems, restoring supply chains, and investing in emerging technologies such as artificial intelligence. This initiative aims to promote economic growth through job creation and to help the United States maintain a competitive edge in the global technological landscape.
To support these goals, the administration has enacted significant measures, including signing an Executive Order designed to stimulate American energy and facilitate the development of AI infrastructure.

This strategy intends to modernize various sectors, including energy, transportation, communication, and defense systems, thereby creating a robust and resilient national framework.
The initiative promotes a collaborative approach involving state and local governments in infrastructure decision-making, striving to balance resilience with taxpayer benefits. With an emphasis on risk-informed and practical strategies, the administration is dedicated to advancing infrastructure that safeguards citizens, drives economic growth, and positions the United States as a leader in technological innovation and infrastructure resilience moving forward.
