Proclamation 10483 of October 31, 2022
Critical Infrastructure Security and Resilience
Month, 2022
By the President of the United States of America
A Proclamation
This month, we recommit to improving the resilience of
our Nation's critical infrastructure so it can
withstand all hazards--natural and manmade. By building
better roads, bridges, and ports; fortifying our
information technology and cybersecurity across
sectors, including election systems; safeguarding our
food and water sources; moving to clean energy; and
strengthening all other critical infrastructure
sectors, we will lay the foundation for long-term
security and prosperity.
When our critical infrastructure shows signs of wear,
everyday Americans pay the price. When powerful storms
and forest fires--made more frequent and ferocious by
climate change--shut down energy grids, families can
lose power for weeks. When unsecure networks are
hacked, critical services can go offline, and
businesses can suffer huge losses. When bridges
collapse and first responders must travel further to
reach disaster sites, Americans can die. Crumbling
infrastructure around the world affects us at home as
well: Extreme weather, cyberattacks, and other
disasters have ripple effects, threatening global
stability and disrupting supply chains everywhere.
That is why my Administration is reinforcing America's
critical infrastructure and supporting our
international partners as they do the same. Last year,
I signed the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law to make a
once-in-a-generation investment in resilience and build
a better America--modernizing our roads, bridges, and
ports; delivering clean water and high-speed internet
to our communities; and helping to eliminate the use of
lead pipes in this country, all while creating a new
generation of good-paying jobs. This year, I signed the
CHIPS and Science Act into law, securing historic
funding for research and development and to build a
resilient supply chain for semiconductors here in
America. At the same time, we are shielding our entire
country against--and actively countering--malicious
cyber activity, and establishing clear international
rules of the road as they relate to cyberspace. Our
Federal agencies are working more closely with the
private sector--which owns and operates most of
America's critical infrastructure--to defend against
cyberattacks. I have reinvigorated the National
Infrastructure Advisory Council to advise on how to
reduce physical and cyber risks and improve the
security and resilience of our Nation's critical
infrastructure sectors.
At the same time, we are committed to protecting our
election systems. The right to vote and to have that
vote counted is the foundation of our democracy and our
Nation's stability, and I am determined to protect our
election workers and defend our free and fair elections
from cyberattacks, threats of violence, and
disinformation campaigns.
Securing our critical infrastructure also means
tackling the climate crisis--an existential threat to
our health care, food systems, water sources, and
energy grid. That is why I was proud to sign the
Inflation Reduction Act, the largest investment ever to
combat climate change while strengthening our energy
sector, and to invoke the Defense Production Act to
accelerate the manufacturing of critical clean energy
technologies here at home. By ushering in a clean
energy future, enhancing wildfire preparedness, and
[[Page 66516]]
creating thousands of jobs, our actions will minimize
the risk of natural disasters and save lives.
Our efforts to bolster critical infrastructure extend
beyond our own borders as well. Through programs like
the Partnership for Global Infrastructure and
Investment, the Digital Invest Program from the United
States Agency for International Development, and the
President's Emergency Plan for Adaptation and
Resilience, the United States is helping pay for game-
changing infrastructure projects in developing
countries, strengthening the global economy and
international supply chains. We are also working with
allies and partners to enhance the resilience of
critical infrastructure around the world, including
trusted telecommunications providers, supply chains,
and energy networks, and to defend and respond to
threats from state and nonstate actors.
The choices we make today to strengthen our critical
infrastructure are going to affect our country and our
world for several generations to come. This year, as we
observe the 50th anniversary of the Clean Water Act and
the Federal Government's landmark actions to protect
and restore our waterways--let us rededicate ourselves
to building a stronger, more resilient Nation. With
bold action, smart investments, and a will to win the
competition for the future, anything is possible.
NOW, THEREFORE, I, JOSEPH R. BIDEN JR., President of
the United States of America, by virtue of the
authority vested in me by the Constitution and the laws
of the United States, do hereby proclaim November 2022
as Critical Infrastructure Security and Resilience
Month. I call upon the people of the United States to
recognize the importance of protecting our Nation's
infrastructure and to observe this month with
appropriate measures to enhance our national security
and resilience.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this
thirty-first day of October, in the year of our Lord
two thousand twenty-two, and of the Independence of the
United States of America the two hundred and forty-
seventh.
