Resilience-Based Performance: Next Generation Guidelines for Buildings and Lifeline Standards, IRP 3, focuses on the enhancements that are needed in the design and construction of buildings and lifeline systems to support a community's social stability, economic vitality, and environmental sustainability. Topics include: Characterization of communities and their supporting infrastructure Hazard assessment Metrics and assessment methods for community resilience Metrics and assessment methods for building and lifeline performance, and A conceptual framework for developing resilience-based performance standards.
