utilities  

Definition

  • Utility services are part of the local infrastructure and include electricity, natural gas, and telecommunications services; water systems are a separate entity. Many disasters disrupt service in the utilities of an afflicted area, complicating not only life for locals, but also the logistics of disaster response. [Source: Encyclopedia of Disaster Relief; Utilities]
