Celebrating National Infrastructure Month, Beginning Leaf Collection Season
By Joe Scavuzzo, Director of Pennsauken Public Works
November is Critical Infrastructure Security and Resilience Month, a nationwide effort to raise awareness and reaffirm the commitment to keep our country’s critical infrastructure safe and strong. We often overlook critical systems until they fail, immediately impacting our lives. Utilities, like water, electric, and sewer, are the first that come to mind, but also include roads and communication. With all things being tied to the internet, there is a host of effort put in place to keep the digital security of these systems intact.
