Technologies for Protection and Resistance Enhancement of Critical Infrastructures against Extreme Fire

Abstract

This report provides information that could help shape national approaches for emerging risk mitigation of extreme fire threats to critical infrastructures (CIs). The results include mitigation technologies and information for fire protection and resistance enhancement of structures. The objective of this study was to review available fire protection materials and technologies for protection application to critical infrastructures and to identify materials and technologies that would be potential solutions for the protection of critical infrastructures against threats of extreme fires.
