Chapter 3
Outcomes of the Infrastructure Resilience Framework
Publication: Infrastructure System Resilience: An Engineering Framework for Assessment, Management, and Governance
Abstract
Outcomes of the infrastructure resilience framework include policy formulation, assessment of social and economic losses, and the economics of resilience. This chapter discusses the key elements of governance and management, the outcomes of the infrastructure resilience framework and tools. Policy is a course or principle of actions to create resilient systems adopted at the governmental and regulatory level or within the corporate or system organizational level. Social and economic losses include all direct and higher order (indirect) potential impacts to communities resulting from infrastructure system damage and service losses. The economics of resilience informs decisions relating to enhancing infrastructure system resilience and addresses the question of how much should be invested at the present and throughout the system's life to reduce consequences of failure and resulting losses in a cost-effective manner using principles of micro-economics. Tools useful for assessing, managing, and governing infrastructure resilience are identified.
