Introduction
Publication: Infrastructure System Resilience: An Engineering Framework for Assessment, Management, and Governance
Abstract
Disasters stemming from large-scale earthquakes, floods, and other natural hazards stress a communities’ economy and social wellbeing. Communities are reliant on infrastructure systems, which are essential for supporting the social and economic institutions within them, changing the equity imbalance, and increasing their resilience. The primary objective of ‘infrastructure resilience’ is to limit damage and losses, and restore infrastructure services following an event, thereby supporting the institutions within a community (i.e., community resilience). The purpose for creating an infrastructure system resilience framework is to identify methodologies, processes, and procedures through which the resilience of all infrastructure systems can be consistently assessed, managed, and governed. The chapter also presents an overview of the key concepts discussed in this book. The book provides an overview of the outcomes of the infrastructure resilience framework. It then delves into assessment, management, and governance, and then connects the processes to community resilience.
