Report from DHS talking about how our electrical grid is a target for frequent hacking and leaves large parts of the nation vulnerable to extended outages and resultant issues in the flow of goods and services.

From the Executive Summary portion:
After interviews with dozens of senior leaders and
experts and an extensive review of studies and statutes,
we found that existing national plans, response
resources, and coordination strategies would be
outmatched by a catastrophic power outage. This
profound risk requires a new national focus. Significant
public and private action is needed to prepare for and
recover from a catastrophic outage that could leave the
large parts of the nation without power for weeks or
months, and cause service failures in other sectors—
including water and wastewater, communications,
transportation, healthcare, and financial services—that
are critical to public health and safety and our national
and economic security.
I hope to God people actually take notice....
