Critical Airport Infrastructure Disaster Resilience: A Framework and Simulation Model for Rapid Adaptation

Resilient critical airport infrastructures affected by a disaster need to sustain minimal functionality and quickly resume full operation, while at the same time coping with the increased operational demands imposed by the unfolding disaster response. In this paper, we develop a resilience framework and model-driven approach that focuses on the...

Resilient airports: Using a new resilience measuring approach to evaluate policies that improve the resilience of airports in the immediate post-disaster response

Airports are a special critical infrastructure in a disaster response from a resilience point of view. They must overcome two types of shocks when they are affected by a disaster. They are not only hit by a disaster, which decreases their performances. Airports also need to act as a humanitarian and logistic hub for the disaster response which...
