In the current context of rising sea levels and increasingly severe weather events, prioritizing infrastructure resiliency is more critical than ever. Resilience is a multifaceted process that encompasses both long-term and short-term planning. Given the constraints of diminishing budgets, allocating limited resources necessitates a clear justification based on return on investment (ROI).
The National Academy of Sciences Transportation Research Board (TRB) is hosting a webinar to address risk communication. During this session, experts discuss risk analysis and employ visual tools to convey risk effectively, thereby supporting resilience strategies. This webinar is organized by TRB’s National Cooperative Highway Research Program and the Standing Technical Committee on Visualization in Transportation.
Learning Objectives. At the end of this webinar, participants will be able to “identify appropriate risks for a region, approach the analysis of some risks, and visualize and communicate risk.” To view more of the Transportation Research Board’s resources on resilience planning, please visit Resilience Research Becoming a Bigger Part of Transportation Planning.
“The Transportation Research Board (TRB) mobilizes expertise, experience, and knowledge to anticipate and solve complex transportation-related challenges. For example, committees, researchers, and staff are focused on advancing resilient infrastructure, exploring transformational technology, and caring for public health and safety.”
