Paper is dedicated to the new approach to distributed industrial systems (IS) sustainability/vulnerability assessment. This approach is based on the unitary multiset grammars (UMG) as a flexible and convenient tool designed specially for large systems analysis and optimization. UMG description of IS technological base as well as multiset representation of order completed by the IS, its resource base and impact on the IS are presented. Criterion for recognition of IS sustainability to the impact is formulated. UMG extension for natural disasters impacts (NDI) representation is introduced, and criterion for recognition of IS sustainability to the NDI is also presented. The solution of the reverse problem, concerning part of the order, which may be completed by the affected IS, is described. Implementation issues are considered.
