The National Academy of Sciences presents the webinar “Strategies for Resilient Lifeline Infrastructure – A Critical Part of Community Recovery from Extreme Natural Hazards.”
Lifeline infrastructure systems are crucial for modern communities, delivering essential services like water supply and wastewater management, power, communications, and transportation. These systems are susceptible to various natural hazards, with many underground critical components. A comprehensive understanding of the subsurface and the condition of these assets throughout the lifecycle is crucial for assessing the risks posed by extreme geohazards, which are generally exacerbated by severe weather conditions.
Geohazards, or natural geological processes that pose direct or indirect risks to people and infrastructure, such as earthquakes, floods, rainfall, wildfires, and related threats like fault rupture, liquefaction, landslides, scour, and changes in topography and soil properties, pose risks to lifelines. Addressing these risks necessitates component, asset, system, and system-of-system evaluations, requiring localized or regional decision-making.
The webinar “Strategies for Resilient Lifeline Infrastructure – A Critical Part of Community Recovery from Extreme Natural Hazards” provides “geo-professionals” insights into current strategies for designing resilient lifeline infrastructure and emphasizes the need for ongoing innovation. The discussion also highlights the importance of mitigation measures in enhancing the resilience of these systems through integrated, beyond-code approaches and more realistic performance objectives.
