ABSTRACT
Increased interconnectedness, technological advancement, changing weather conditions, and growing population are just a few factors contributing to the fact that the world is constantly changing. Building a resilient infrastructure is a strategic approach requiring evaluation, planning, and financial input. Resilience is built around the most common individual threats to industrial stability: a natural disaster, industrial accident, or terrorist attack. High resilience of key industries is particularly important for the national well-being and security. Resilience evaluation is the overall activities of modeling and analysis of the critical infrastructure system aimed to evaluate the ability to prevent, absorb, adapt, and recover from a disruptive event, either natural or man-made. Industrial resilience can be increased in many ways. One of them is updating policies and revisiting industrial standards. In resilience thinking, development issues for human well-being, for people and planet, are framed in a context of understanding and governing complex social–ecological dynamics for sustainability as part of a dynamic biosphere.
