Faced with current threats, geopolitical developments and growing risks of disasters and crises, our country must be well prepared for every scenario.
The Minister for Security and Home Affairs, Bernard Quintin, presented his new measures to strengthen the security of our critical sectors this Thursday morning on RTL.
Our energy infrastructure, our airports, our banks, our hospitals, but also our drinking water networks must be able to keep functioning!
To govern is to foresee. To foresee is to protect!
The companies and organisations concerned will therefore now have to assess a wide range of risks and draw up appropriate plans. They will be supported in this process by the authorities.
Regular exercises will need to be organised to test the preparedness of this infrastructure. Any incident should be reported immediately to the competent authorities. The National Crisis Centre will play a central role by coordinating actions with police, security services and the various sectors.
