This book allows the readers achieving a common and intuitive overview of the process to select, design and operate a fire strategy in a risk-based framework, in which the strategy, as a pool of different measures, is not unique. Resilience is achieved when fire risk assessment allows the consideration of the relevant fire scenarios, and their mitigation in frequency and magnitude to an acceptable level, given a defined risk criterion, is put in place and maintained over the time with a sound fire-safety strategy, known and shared among the stakeholders. Stakeholders should be aware of, considering the fire strategy as a common and shared holistic approach that goes beyond the differences among the parties to a specific additional and inalienable objective for the building performance, fire safety.
