Crisis planning is integral to many cities across the planet and we see it in use when natural disasters strike. When the magnitude 9 earthquake hit Japan in 2011, previous disaster planning kicked in. But the response has been criticized because of the predictive limitations that informed the disaster recovery attempts. In a smart city, our very infrastructure is dependent on the data generated by citizens and our daily lives. Critical infrastructures, like smart water, are also likely to be a sweet target for hackers. As our smart cities begin to mature, we need to lay down the expectations for managing the city when disaster strikes.”]
