Spine title: Lifelines workshop

The aim of the workshop was to develop a methodology which can be applied across Australia for managing the risks to infrastructure and to communities caused by damage to lifelines. The workshop concluded that the lifeline risk assessment process was a very useful tool for the reduction of community vulnerability to lifeline disruption and for facilitating the development of effective community emergency management plans, the risk assessment process as described under the Australian/New Zealand Risk Management Standard should be used to enhance the lifeline risk assessment process, and the lifeline risk management process should be documented as national guidelines then disseminated and promoted across Australia
