In the context of critical infrastructure, resilience refers to: (a) coordinated planning across sectors and networks, (b) responsive, flexible and timely recovery measures, and (c) the development of an organisational culture that has the ability to provide a minimum level of service during interruptions, emergencies and disasters, and return to full operations quickly.

In this way, building capacity in organisations to be agile, adaptive and to improve by learning from experience

is part of the concept of CIR (see Organisational Resilience). [1]


United Kingdom

Critical Infrastructure Resilience (CIR) encompasses activity to prevent, protect and prepare for natural hazard. [2]


United States

Infrastructure resilience is the ability to reduce the magnitude and/or duration of disruptive events. The effectiveness of a resilient infrastructure or enterprise depends upon its ability to anticipate, absorb, adapt to, and/or rapidly recover from a potentially disruptive event. [3]

Other Definitions

A resilient infrastructure is a component, system or facility that is able to withstand damage or disruption, but if affected, can be readily and cost-effectively restored. [4]


Resilience is the joint ability of infrastructure systems to resist (prevent and withstand) any possible hazards, absorb the initial damage, and recover to normal operation. [5]


Resilience is capacity of a system to prevent a crisis occurrence, and when a crisis occurs, the capacity to absorb the impact and recover rapidly to the normal state. [6]


A resilience assessment framework should encompass the following attributes: (a) Systems structure (the physical static parameters of the infrastructure, i.e. design and topology parameters of the system), (b) Systems dynamic (the dynamic behavior of the infrastructure systems, e.g. emergency preparedness, response management, and recovery activities) and (c) Human and Organizational capacities (human and organizational factors whose contributions are essential to the overall infrastructure resilience).[7]
