Plan for Developing and Adopting Seismic Design Guidelines and Standards for Lifelines
This document outlines a plan for developing and adopting design and construction standards
for lifelines. The plan 1) establishes performance criteria for the construction, maintenance, and
operation of new and existing lifeline systems, equipment, and materials for selected levels of
seismic risk; 2) provides a basis for technical specifications for use by buyers and sellers of
lifeline products and services to reduce the vulnerability of lifeline systems to earthquakes; and
3) provides a reliable basis for regulations to protect public health, safety, and welfare. Five
types of lifeline systems are presented: electric, gas and liquid fuel, telecommunications,
transportation, and water systems.
