This course is for Engineers, Architects and Business Managers who have responsibility for the operation, state of good repair and reliability of transportation system infrastructure assets and who will benefit from knowledge about the various resiliency planning strategies to compensate for the long term effects of global warming and climate change in developing capital planning and programming, as well as, the short term need for preparedness and emergency response when a hazard strikes.

This 2-day, 2-part course will provide knowledge of the applicable hazards in your state, how to determine your transportation system’s anticipated performance and system interdependencies with utility providers and other agencies. It will also provide guidance on how to improve system performance by identifying and implementing resiliency improvement projects and how to identify sources of state and federal funding programs for short term, intermediate term and long-term mitigation programs.

Part 1: Introduction, Transportation Infrastructure, Applicable Hazard Events, System Performance Goals and Interdependencies, and Climate Change Impacts

 

Part 2: Identifying System Vulnerabilities, Planning Mitigation Projects, Identifying Funding Sources, and Performing BCA for Short, Intermediate and Long-Term Resiliency Improvements
