Dorchester County first critical infrastructure summit tackles security threats
DORCHESTER COUNTY, S.C. (WCBD) – Leaders in Dorchester County are holding their first Critical Infrastructure Summit to strengthen partnerships and enhance security in the county. Officials say in an era of evolving threats, proactive collaboration is the key to protecting Dorchester County's essential services. The summit will bring together key public and private sector stakeholders to strengthen partnerships, security, and resilience of critical infrastructure in the county. Officials say they will discuss the current threat landscape, mitigation strategies, and available resources with business leaders, infrastructure operators, emergency managers, and public safety professionals. 'A successful Critical Infrastructure Protection program relies on strong partnerships with private-sector stakeholders, who own and operate the majority of these essential assets,' said Dorchester County officials. County officials added those partners include SC Ports Authority, SC State Law Enforcement Division, Dominion Energy, FBI Columbia, and CISA. The meeting is scheduled on Thursday, March 6, beginning at noon at the Dorchester Emergency Operations Center. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.
