Exploring the Six Dimensions of Lifeline Infrastructure Resiliency

摘要

Resiliency of critical lifeline infrastructure has emerged as an important concern after recent disasters crippled the U.S. infrastructure and stranded many without basic utility services. System resiliency is often defined as the ability of the system to return to its original level of service in a short period of time. This paper will explore the six major dimensions of addressing infrastructure resiliency and will illustrate how these six dimensions can be utilized to develop a streamlined process of achieving infrastructure resiliency.
