The Property Resilience Assessment (PRA) creates a standardized way of communicating the hazards and vulnerabilities that may affect a commercial, industrial, or multi-family building and helps identify resilience measures to improve its performance. There are several resources available for learning more about Property Resilience Assessments (PRAs). One resource is the ASTM International, which has developed a new guide for conducting PRAs. This guide provides an overview of a generalized, systematic approach for conducting a PRA, including: (1) identifying the natural hazards likely to affect a property; (2) evaluating the risks posed by those hazards along with the capacity of the property to prepare for, adapt to, withstand, and recover from those hazards; and, (3) identifying conceptual resilience measures to enhance property-level performance and recovery. htps://www.astm.org/workitem-wk62996…
