Abstract
Lifelines are vital to the health and safety of the community and the functioning of an urban and industrialized society. Lifelines are critical for the emergency response and recovery of a community after a disaster. Lifelines include electric power, communications, transportation (highways, airports, railroads and harbors), water, sewage, natural gas, and liquid fuel systems. A discussion of hospital lifelines is included here. See also the chapters on nonstructural components and highways.
