Our collective conception and approach to resilient freight planning is being altered by increased frequency of events. TRB will host a webinar on Tuesday, April 25, 2023 from 11:30 AM to 1:00 PM Eastern that will explore the unique recovery challenges in Ukraine during the Russian invasion and Puerto Rico in the aftermath of hurricanes Maria and Fiona and how they can inform the planning of resilient supply chains both nationally and internationally. Presenters will share current adaptation strategies, terminology and strategies used in freight resiliency planning, and the continuing needs of Ukraine and Puerto Rico.
This webinar features research from NCFRP Report 30: Making U.S. Ports Resilient as Part of Extended Intermodal Supply Chains, Case Study of the Transportation Sector's Response to and Recovery from Hurricanes Katrina and Rita as published in Transportation Research Record, and Emergency Logistics Issues Affecting the Response to Katrina: A Synthesis and Preliminary Suggestions for Improvement.
This webinar is sponsored by TRB’s Standing Technical Committee on Intermodal Freight Transport.
Registration is free for employees of TRB sponsors as well as Titanium and Cobalt Global Affiliates. The registration rate for all other attendees is $100.
