Explaining the Seven Community Lifelines (continued)

The Communications Lifeline consists of infrastructure owners and operators of broadband internet, cellular and landline telephone networks, cable services, satellite communications services, and broadcast networks (radio/television).

• This includes alerts, warnings, and messages, 911 and dispatch, and access to financial services

The Transportation Lifeline comprises multiple modes of transportation that often serve complementary functions and create redundancy, adding to the resilience in overall transportation networks.

• This includes roads, rail, and air as well as all public transportation

The Hazardous Materials Lifeline is characterized by the systems that mitigate threats to public health or the environment

• This includes chemicals, nuclear/radiological exposure, or other toxic substances that, if not properly handled or contained, cause risk to health
