Martin Adams, the Los Angeles Department of Water and Power’s General Manager and Chief Engineer, was recently appointed by President Biden to serve on the National Infrastructure Advisory Council, a group of approximately 30 experts nationwide who address issues on national security related to infrastructure and reliability.
He was sworn into his new position on March 13.
The National Infrastructure Advisory Council advises the White House on how to reduce physical and cyber risks and improve the security and resilience of the nation’s critical infrastructure sectors.
The four new members will join 26 members previously announced by the President in August 2022.
Since its establishment in 2001, the National Infrastructure Advisory Council has conducted dozens of studies to address issues such as improving intelligence information sharing across government and industry, identifying and reducing complex cyber risks and better preparing for and responding to disruptions that can ripple across multiple infrastructure systems, among other things.
