Download or read book Resilience Primer for Transportation Executives written by and published by . This book was released on 2021 with total page 32 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: CEOs of departments of transportation (DOTs) face many challenges, including some that will have serious impacts on people's mobility and safety, and possibly on the tenure of CEOs. Many of these challenges revolve around the resilience of the transportation system—how well it can withstand disruptions from natural causes, catastrophic failures of the infrastructure or cyber events, and how quickly the agency can restore services when they are impacted. The TRB National Cooperative Highway Research Program's pre-publication draft of NCHRP Research Report 976: Resilience Primer for Transportation Executives provides a quick grounding in resilience benefits, the CEO’s role in resilience, and approaches taken in various states to increase the resilience of their transportation system. It also offers concepts and tools to lead agencies toward greater resilience.

Download or read book Climate Resilient Cities written by Neeraj Prasad and published by World Bank Publications. This book was released on 2009-02-19 with total page 186 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 'Climate Resilient Cities: A Primer on Reducing Vulnerabilities to Disasters' provides city administrators with exactly what they need to know about the complex and compelling challenges of climate change. The book helps local governments create training, capacity building, and capital investment programs for building sustainable, resilient communities. A step-by-step self-assessment challenges policymakers to think about the resources needed to combat natural disasters through an innovative hot spot risk and vulnerability identifi cation tool. This primer is unique from other resources in its treatment of climate change using a dual-track approach that integrates both mitigation (lowering contributions to greenhouse gases) and adaptation (preparing for impacts of climate change) with disaster risk management. The book is relevant both to cities that are just beginning to think about climate change as well as those that already have well established policies, institutions, and strategies in place. By providing a range of city-level examples of sound practices around the world, the book demonstrates that there are many practical actions that cities can take to build resilience to climate change and natural disasters.

Download or read book Using Resilience as a Measure to Prioritize Transportation Network Recovery written by YuanChi (Daniel) Liu and published by . This book was released on 2020 with total page 208 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Transportation infrastructure plays a vital role in our daily lives, including the movement of people and goods. During the life cycle of a transportation facility, it experiences countless weather and other disruptive events that cause various degree of damage and degradation. Transportation asset management requires investments in both routine maintenances to keep the infrastructure in a state of good repair and repair of damage after unavoidable weather or other related events. Wise investments reduce the consequences and potential propagation of disruptions. In addition, vulnerability, reliability, risk management, and transportation infrastructure resilience has recently drawn attention, in practice and academic research, due to more frequent extreme weather events occurring. The resilience research related to transportation infrastructure not only focuses on the ability to resist the disruption and maintain maximum functionality, but also on the ability to recover efficiently and restore performance.
