Case studies and good practice for resilience

The report forms part of the supporting materials for the Commission’s work on Anticipate, React, Recover: Resilient infrastructure systems, the final report of the Resilience Study which was completed in May 2020.

The Commission reviewed UK and international case studies related to the resilience of infrastructure systems. A selection of the key case studies is presented in this technical annex. The case studies demonstrate good practice and some failures in infrastructure resilience, highlighting actions and attributes that can enhance the resilience of infrastructure systems.

These actions and attributes span across the six aspects of resilience: anticipate, resist, absorb, recover, adapt, and transform.
