• President's Commission on Critical Infrastructure Protection
  
• Infrastructure Protection Task Force
  
• Critical Infrastructure Assurance Office

From 1998 through the Y2K rollover, we focused our attention on services that supported national security, emergency preparedness, response, and recovery planning. During the Y2K Millennium Rollover, we were especially active in defining industry-government programs for restoring critical infrastructure services essential to the national economy. We worked as counsel to the National Y2K Information Coordination Center, preparing internal security and privacy manuals and processes.

Following the September 11 attacks and the subsequent passage of the Homeland Security Act of 2002 our established experience in interdependencies, legislative and regulatory compliance, the insurance and reinsurance sectors, and our professional network of contacts throughout industry and government all converged in contracts that garnered us expertise in risk governance and organizational strategy that allows our clients to navigate this critical junction in our nation's history.

The aftermath of Hurricane Katrina underscored the seriousness of what should have been lessons learned from 9/11: the need to create actual contacts at all levels of the public / private continuum, from the tactical to the strategic; the necessity of a truly integrated national plan for managing risks, and the identification of programs that actually work; the requirement that the insurance and reinsurance sector must be integrated into any solutions; and the urgency with which corporate America must be given an equal seating at the table for any response and recovery discussion.

These are some of the goals that are driving ZRA's work into 2007.
