Executive Summary
The Environmental Business Council of New England (EBC) will hold a virtual webinar on March 24, 2026, from 12:00 p.m. to 1:00 p.m. EST, focused on a Massachusetts critical facility that endured repeated flooding during 2023’s record-breaking rainfall. The program is the first installment in the EBC Water Resources Resilient Waters Series and is designed to show how rapid assessment and resilience-based stormwater design can help protect critical infrastructure under changing climate conditions.
Why This Webinar Matters
EBC frames the series as a move from flood planning to real-world implementation, with an emphasis on long-term resilience across New England. The March 24 session is positioned as a practical case study for organizations that need to understand how flood exposure can translate into immediate operational and infrastructure risks.
What The Case Study Covers
According to the event page, the featured case study will examine three vulnerabilities exposed by the flooding: offsite runoff, onsite drainage limitations, and building exposure. EBC notes that the webinar will show how a rapid mitigation effort was developed after repeated flood impacts and how adaptive stormwater design can reduce future risk.
Who Will Lead The Discussion
The speakers are Renee Bourdeau, PE, principal water resources engineer at Geosyntec Consultants, and Andrew Colcord, EIT, senior staff professional at Geosyntec Consultants. Emma Olson, EIT, water resources engineer at Jacobs and an ascending professional representative for the EBC Water Resources Committee, will moderate; EBC also lists 1.0 training contact hours for registered attendees and a moderated Q&A at the close of the program.
