ABSTRACT
Critical infrastructure systems play a pivotal role in supporting essential urban services and are an integral part of envisioning and implementing strategies to reduce vulnerability to climate-related hazards and extreme events. This chapter builds upon the topics discussed in Chapter 10 by covering methodologies and tools employed by researchers and practitioners to characterize the location, timing, and spatial extent of service disruptions and model the complex behavior of interdependent infrastructure systems. The infrastructure interdependency analysis incorporates a broad range of perspectives based on both qualitative and quantitative methods. The chapter highlights new developments and challenges in developing adaptation strategies for critical infrastructure systems.
