Asset Management provides agencies/owners both a long-term roadmap toward better supervision of asset inventories, as well as data necessary for logical material placement and usage. This information allows agencies to make sound engineering decisions backed by years of data, which in turn improves resilience of the infrastructure system and maximizes sustainability.

In this webinar, we look at current issues and actions that impact such decisions in critical locations such as evacuation routes, flood prone areas, emergency access routes, and others. We also explore how asset management data can be used to help prepare for recovery from major natural disasters, and to determine the most appropriate mitigation planning.

After attending the course the attendee should be able to:

• • Understand which locations are critical in your community and create a list before disaster strikes can help plan for faster recovery.
  • Understand the current federal requirements for evacuation route planning and design.
  • Discover how an engaged asset management program can help to build resilient transportation infrastructure which will respond well to ever increasing threats while leading to emergency preparedness.
