disagree  Giuseppina Vecchia: mi dispiace contraddirti, ma lifeline non è evacuazione. Avrebbero usato "evacuation plans", semmai.

  -> Non c'è bisogno che ti dispiaccia: ho guardato ora meglio e in effetti hai ragione, i riscontri vanno in un senso diverso da quello indicato dalla mia risposta che, non a caso, era stata data un po' affrettatamente. Tu invece che soluzione proponi?
disagree  Monica M.: I piani di evacuazione c'entrano poco o niente qui... Stiamo infatti parlando di "sistemi di lifeline" o ""sistemi/reti di infrastrutture di importanza vitale" (cfr: http://www.aipcr.it/public/Rapporto Metodologie.pdf ).

linee di comunicazione salvavita/ di importanza vitale


Explanation:
This study is extremely important for life-line structures as bridges or viaducts.
http://www.fisica.unina.it/dipartimento/attscient/Annual_Rep...

Lifelines are those systems and facilities that provide services vital to the functioning of the industrialized society and also are necessary for the emergency response and recovery to a community after a natural disaster, such as an earthquake. Such services include transportation (highways, airports, harbors, railroads and transit), electric power, communication, water, wastewater, natural gas and liquid fuels

  -> grazie, si, credo ci sia ampio spazio per le varianti in tal senso
agree  Monica M.: In gergo, si parla di "sistemi di lifeline" o "lifeline" tout court. Comunque, volendo tradurre, "sistemi/reti di infrastrutture di importanza vitale" mi sembra renda il concetto (cfr: http://www.aipcr.it/public/Rapporto Metodologie.pdf ).
