Resilience of Infrastructures and Systems to Multiple Hazardous Events: Application Cases and Future Perspectives

Nowadays, Critical Infrastructure and Systems are getting more and more interconnected, while facing increasing and more intensive hazards: from man-made to natural ones, including those exacerbated by effects of the climate change. The demand for their robustness and resiliency against all these threats is finding ground to organizations’ or states’ ambitions and policies. The paper focuses on a review from an engineering perspective of past efforts and more importantly provides evidence of application cases the authors have developed in the past years. Finally, an outlook on future perspectives and potentials in the application of resilience is provided.
