Figure 1: The seven Community Lifelines pictured with each of their components.

The FEMA Data Governance Council (DGC) approved the addition of the seven Community Lifelines as a new standard to improve incident stabilization efforts and provide standardized reference information for response activities after a disaster. The Response Directorate created the Community Lifelines to characterize incidents and determine priority areas and interdependencies, allowing decision-makers to efficiently restore critical infrastructure in communities (See Figure 1 above for the seven Community Lifelines and their associated components). The addition of this data standard will streamline communication during response efforts, create broader understanding of response work, and encourage collaboration throughout the whole emergency response community.
