Recommendations toward Functional Recovery Performance of Lifeline Infrastructure Systems
Publication: Lifelines 2022
ABSTRACT
In response to a Congressional mandate to recommend “options for improving the built environment and critical infrastructure to reflect performance goals stated in terms of post-earthquake re-occupancy and functional recovery time,” the National Institute of Standards and Technology and Federal Emergency Management Agency have initiated efforts to address the functional recovery performance of buildings and lifeline infrastructure systems. This paper focuses on recommendations for lifeline systems, emphasizing the need to: (i) establish a consistent national performance framework across all lifelines to enable consistent functional recovery objectives; (ii) provide national guidance on regulatory authorities to enable consistent implementation; (iii) evaluate existing lifeline infrastructure to assess expected performance and identify and prioritize upgrades; (iv) develop national standards for orderly recovery at component, system, and system-of-systems levels; (v) create regional councils to identify lifeline interdependencies and manage agency coordination; and (vi) enable recovery through planning, education, and financial resources.
