Why NIST?
NIST has a long history of conducting problemfocused research to provide the technical basis for
performance-based standards and codes.
Why NIST?
What is a Community?
A community can be defined as having the following
attributes:
Clear geographical boundaries
A governance structure able to make decisions and either
implement actions or influence the actions of others
Resilience Concept

Attributes of Resilience
Functionality Resilience should be based on the ability
of social systems to resume function within a prescribed
period of time following an expected event. Buildings and
infrastructure must be functional to support these social
systems.
Interdependence Resilience must consider the
interdependence of buildings and infrastructure
(functionality) and the relationship of individuals and
organizations with the built environment.
