Example: after a flood 🌊 , you can drive to the supermarket 🚗 , and the supermarket isn't flooded 🛒 . However, the electrical substation that feeds the supermarket was flooded and has stopped working, so the supermarket has no electricity 🚫⚡.

This paper investigates how following an event,
a) you might be able to access a facility and
b) that facility might be physically unimpacted,
however, that facility may have been indirectly impacted from cascading failures and does not have one or more essential utilities required to function.

Would love to see trams throughout the rest of the city again!
