This insightful session on recovery-based community resilience objectives is a must for anyone committed to building safer, more resilient communities. Join us to discover how current building codes and standards fall short in addressing the increasing frequency and intensity of disaster events. Plus, learn about the innovative Functional Recovery framework, which goes beyond traditional safety-based performance objectives to include recovery time considerations. You'll leave this session with valuable new strategies to enhance community resilience against future hazards.
Learning Objectives
- Discover practical steps to implement during project design to support community resilience and create a more sustainable future.
- Gain insight into the increasing frequency and intensity of disaster events due to climatic changes and how current building codes and standards are not addressing this new reality.
- Uncover strategies for designing buildings and infrastructure to achieve quicker recovery and improved safety after natural hazard events.
- Explore how stakeholders across the built community can collaborate on structural performance criteria to make informed decisions about upfront costs and recovery times for various hazard types and levels.
