Event Details:
The last decades have yielded significant research regarding sustainable and resilient engineering design and urban planning. Yet destructive disasters happen, and engineers, planners and other professions responding to and rebuilding after disasters can find themselves in dynamic, time-compressed decision making situations and underappreciating the social, economic and governance factors that also need to be considered. Laurie Johnson, Principal of Laurie Johnson Consulting Research will draw from her 30+ years of experience working in post-disaster environments and offer considerations for resilience engineering and rebuilding in disaster-prone regions and serving disaster-impacted communities.
