INL Resilience Optimization Center

About Us

 

INL ROC partners with public and private entities, other national laboratories, and academia to address our Nation’s infrastructure challenges. These partnerships offer a unique perspective on enhancing systems resilience and risk management.

Why Use Us?

There is no one-size-fits-all approach to resiliency. National resilience requires asset owners to be deliberate in their awareness and decision-making: understanding the resilience of the infrastructure within their direct control, and conscious of their dependence on infrastructure out of their control.

Resilience planning should be scaled and bound to an asset owner’s finite resources (time, budget, and staffing) as well as their operations criticality and risk profile. INL ROC tailors its research and analysis to individual challenges, providing optimized recommendations for solutions that align to the core mission and definition of success outlined by the organization.
