Objective Resilience: Policies and Strategies, MOP 146, examines policies and strategies related to community and asset resilience. This manual of practice provides civil infrastructure stakeholders with a comprehensive, recommended set of practices and discusses the basis for those practices.

Topics include definitions of resilience and a unifying theory for resilience; objective resilience of infrastructure systems; policies and strategies of organizations, codes and standards, and the federal government; metrics and benchmarks; objective modeling from policy/strategy viewpoints; and resilience management.

MOP 146 will be of interest to researchers, practitioners, policy makers, security consultants, and emergency and public-safety managers across the country.
