Infrastructure Modeling “The process, now avail-
able to other cities, is a holis- tic framework. It includes key elements of Sandia’s crit- ical infrastructure modeling and simulation tools, risk consequence assessment and systems analysis expertise to show cities the most effective investments they can make to become more resilient,” says systems scientist Robert Jeffers. The report also shows individual cities how their resiliency affects other cities in their region, the na- tion and the world. Sandia’s report, “Devel-
opment of an Urban Re- silience Analysis Framework with Application to Norfolk, VA”, is available to the public on Sandia’s 100 Resilient Cities website, which also contains information about ways Sandia can help im- prove resiliency (www. san-
dia.gov/cities/_assets/docu- ments/NorfolkReport). The report, available as a
71-page PDF, includes charts and maps of affected areas in Norfolk.

67 Cities in Network To prove the analysis process,
Sandia analyzed Norfolk’s vulnera- bilities in the face of a nor’easter, a storm that blows in from the north- east and brings severe coastal flood- ing, erosion and hurricane-force wind, along with economic damage. The work was done in partnership with 100RC, which currently works with a global network of 67 cities to better prepare communities like Nor- folk to withstand disasters, recover
partnership. The systems analysis they produced gave the city new data and insights into the value and inter- dependencies of its economy, as well as the relative strengths and vulnera- bilities of its infrastructure,” says Amy Armstrong, director of city relation- ships for 100RC. “This data and analy- sis will be crucial in Norfolk’s future planning efforts, and it is my hope oth- er cities in the 100RC network are al- so able to take advantage of this so- phisticated analysis to help make them more resilient to the inevitable
