TRACK DESCRIPTIONS
UTILITY RISK AND RESILIENCE
The frequency of billion-dollar extreme weather events—from
hurricanes, flooding, and rising sea levels to droughts, heat
waves, and wildfires—has increased dramatically in recent
years. Resiliency efforts of water and wastewater utilities not
only save lives and taxpayer dollars, but also play a key role in
preparing cities for the challenges they face from these events.
Join experts as they discuss provisions in the newly promulgated
America’s Water Infrastructure Act of 2018 legislation for
assessing risk and becoming more resilient from not only Mother
Nature but also cyber hazards.
