Why this matters
Large public and commercial spaces whose disruption can affect communities and economies.
Core system ideas
Facilities include varied venues and property types with different risk profiles.
Power, communications, water, transport access and emergency services are common dependencies.
Continuity planning focuses on occupants, essential functions and safe restoration.
What to review
Useful reviews usually combine service criticality, dependencies, condition, capacity, maintenance, alternate arrangements, restoration time and clear ownership rather than relying on one isolated metric.
