Infrastructure resilience is a research area that focuses on the ability of critical infrastructure systems, such as transportation, energy, water, and communication networks, to withstand and recover from various disruptions and disasters. This includes natural disasters like hurricanes, earthquakes, and floods, as well as human-caused events such as cyber attacks and terrorist threats. Researchers in this field work to develop strategies and technologies to enhance the resilience of infrastructure systems, including improving design standards, implementing redundancy and backup systems, and strengthening communication and coordination between stakeholders. The ultimate goal of infrastructure resilience research is to ensure that critical infrastructure can continue operating in the face of disruptions, minimizing the impact on society and the economy.
