Abstract

To address the growing need for functional recovery design of U.S. built environment, a recent NIST and FEMA report recommends the development of a national function recovery framework serving as the minimum requirements to provide consistent performance targets and improve community resilience across the nation. Key to this framework is the identification and categorization of critical community services and functions, as well as acceptable post-earthquake downtimes for buildings and lifeline infrastructure systems that support those services. This paper reviews existing literature on recovery-based performance targets for the built environment and uses the data collected at five stakeholder workshops to propose a preliminary recovery categories and times that can be employed in development of a future functional recovery framework.
