Methodologies for Quantifying Installation-Community Resilience in Cold Regions
Publication: Cold Regions Engineering 2024: Sustainable and Resilient Engineering Solutions for Changing Cold Regions
ABSTRACT
The dynamic challenges posed by climate-driven threats indicate an acceleration in complexities surrounding the planning, construction, and maintenance of infrastructure within cold regions installations and their proximate communities. It is imperative for installations, including military posts, bases, and facilities, situated in these regions, to enhance their capacity to address the resilience of critical infrastructure while gaining a comprehensive understanding of the risks entwined with mission-critical functionalities. The proposed approach emphasizes a combined community and installation understanding of threats affecting missions through infrastructure. It seeks to identify prospective interventions geared towards risk reduction and resilience amplification. To develop a systematic assessment, we draw upon existing approaches and data on projected climate-driven hazards, incorporating interdependencies between infrastructure systems, installation capabilities, and nearby communities for our new start resilience project. This assessment focuses on a specific installation and its surrounding community infrastructure exposed to unique and compounding threats in cold regions environments. The purpose of this paper is to highlight existing tools and methodologies applicable to installation resilience assessments such as the Mission Dependency Index (MDI) and Mission Assurance Assessment (MAA), with modifications addressing not only asset management concerns but also other dependencies, including the surrounding communities in cold regions.
