Chapter 4
Assessment, Management, and Governance
Publication: Infrastructure System Resilience: An Engineering Framework for Assessment, Management, and Governance
Abstract
The processes in the infrastructure resilience framework are distinguished as system assessment processes, management processes, and governance processes. The management and governance activities draw on inputs from the assessment phase and are tightly linked. The three types of processes focus on infrastructure system resilience, which is closely linked with community resilience. In this chapter, the processes are reviewed and connected to community resilience. Assessment in the context of this framework refers to the wide variety of methods or tools the various infrastructure systems may have to assess and evaluate the performance of their systems to potential or actual hazard strikes in support of the communities they serve. In the context of the framework, management is the process dealing with and controlling the infrastructure systems financing, planning, design, construction, operations, and maintenance and the people and groups necessary to undertake these roles.
