Community Resiliency Infrastructure and Sustainability Protocol
Publication: Lifelines 2022
ABSTRACT
Engineers must above all else protect and advance the health, safety, and welfare of the public. Professional societies create codes and standards that guide development of the built environment to serve the public needs. Elected officials are, ultimately, responsible for the allocation of public funding to ensure the resilience and overall performance of new and existing infrastructure. This intersection of public policy and engineering is a place where engineers should take a more active role. This study outlines a process for public accounting using value analysis of the regional infrastructure, including benefit-cost analysis for new structures as well as existing infrastructure. CRISP, Community Resiliency Infrastructure Protocol, is founded on probabilistic estimates, stochastic analysis, and accepted discounting assumptions. The ASCE Infrastructure Resilience Division has initiated a project to further develop this concept. The goal is to create methodologies that can be utilized for decision-making, improving the resilience and sustainability for infrastructure systems and communities.
