Spatio-temporal data models for describing complex lifelines and trajectories of persons, as well as events that affect their evolution, are prerequisites for the statistical analysis of their relationships.

This paper presents a comprehensive model to quantify disaster resilience of systems that is defined as the capability to sustain functionality and recover from losses generated by extreme events. The model combines loss estimation and recovery models and can be applied to critical facilities (e.g. hospitals, military buildings, etc.), as well as utility lifelines (e.g. electric power systems, ...
