Has anyone else noticed that we seem to regularly experience 100-year floods and thousand year storms? As we rebuild America's infrastructure, it is incumbent on our leaders to build resilient projects that will stand up to the next century, not the last one. Let's prioritize creating infrastructure that can withstand the increasing frequency and intensity of natural disasters. #infrastructure #resilience #P3s

Another push of funding for utilities projects of $1 Billion from FEMA. This includes: $395 million for flood control projects $236 million for electrical and utility improvements While this sounds like a lot of money, and for a few small communities it will make a world of difference, this is still far short of what is needed. Depending on how wide you cast the need for water, electric, flood, etc we have a 60 Billion dollar gap EVERY YEAR. So I’m thankful we can move forward with these projects but we need to get our federal government to shift spending priority into actual hard infrastructure. https://lnkd.in/gsXesGK6

We need to better prepare Victoria's infrastructure for more frequent and severe weather. The world's climate is changing. This means Victoria will have more severe weather and intense rainfall events, more hot days and bushfires, and higher sea levels. Most of Victoria's infrastructure, such as roads, electricity networks and buildings, were not built to perform in this new climate. Infrastructure Victoria has released 'Weathering the Storm' outlining how the state government can protect its roads, electricity networks and buildings against frequent bushfires, floods and storms. The report includes economic modelling showcasing simple, low-cost solutions - https://lnkd.in/gKzP4qKt The benefits of investing in more resilient infrastructure now can outweigh the costs of repairing and rebuilding it after extreme weather events and reduce harm to Victorians. Our report shows how to assess the vulnerability of infrastructure to climate change and compare different adaptation solutions. For more details see the Australian Broadcasting Corporation (ABC) report from Harrison Tippet - https://lnkd.in/gxJ4M7GC #infrastucture #adaptation #resilience #climatechange #research

Check out our article on Marty Adams of the Los Angeles Department of Water and Power : 40 years of securing reliable resources for L.A. from our June issue. The Los Angeles Department of Water and Power (LADWP) is a leader in moving the needle forward in reliable, clean water and power. Maximizing every drop, this major utility has completed substantial projects for water quality, system connectivity, and recycling and recovery to create local resource reliability. Marty Adams, a 40-year LADWP veteran and the agency’s former general manager and chief engineer, helped bring the agency through a remarkable recovery after an earthquake threatened resource security at the start of his career and then helped it accomplish major infrastructure advancements during the COVID-19 pandemic, with many victories in between. Recently, Mr. Adams was appointed to the National Infrastructure Advisory Council to help advise the president on disaster response and the criticality of infrastructure to the functioning of the country. We discuss all this and more in this fascinating interview. https://bit.ly/3ze0c99 #LADWP #MartyAdams #WaterAndPower #InfrastructureLeadership #WaterQuality #SystemConnectivity #WaterRecycling #ResourceReliability #InfrastructureAdvancements #DisasterResponse #CleanWater #UtilityLeadership #WaterSecurity #NationalInfrastructure #UrbanWaterManagement #LosAngelesWater #SustainableUtilities #HydroLeader #JuneIssue #ReadNow

The time to act is Now.
Rhode Islanders are “realizing the financial consequences of chronic flooding,” said Bill Fazioli, the executive director of the Rhode Island Infrastructure Bank, who added that the state pays for “not just the cost of recovering (from flooding), but the impact on businesses and housing values.” #resilience #resilientinfrastructure #greeninfrastructure #stormwater #coastalresilience
