TRB conducted a webinar on Thursday, May 12, 2016 from 2:00PM to 3:30PM ET that examined the financial impacts to transportation arising from extreme weather events and the subsequent recovery. These events can present long-term risks and disruptions to communities, governments, and future projects. This webinar examined the operationalization of resilience, considering social and economic perspectives, as well as private sector, regional, and national dimensions.
