Just make an infrastructure list and then cross off the ones that don't use computers. You probably won't do much crossing off.

Need a pre-made list! There's got to be many out there.

I had many sources and lists a year ago, but have since deleated links and threw away reams of printouts (it was driving me nuts and the pollys wouldn't believe me if I had a mountain of evidence! (I did!).

What I am looking for is a nice list of all the different (or many) infastructures that support our supply line of foods, water, electric, phone, goods, etc.

One word: Railroads

There are very few sectors of our infrastructure that are not served in some way by the railroads. And they are not compliant.

Just take any one sector of the infrastructure, think "domino effect" and then you will have your list.

This sounds like something that might fit the bill

dw,

See if there's something in this FEMA guide for state and local emergency management that's useful:
