We hope you will join this REMI guest webinar titled, “Resilience Investment: Regional Economic Impacts“. This webinar is being presented by Dr. Igor Linkov, from the US Army Corps of Engineers and Carnegie Mellon University from 2:00-3:00pm ET on Tuesday, May 13th.

The capacity to recover quickly from disruptions is just as important for regional economies as it is to global networks. Metropolitan and state transportation networks are especially susceptible to systemic or random events that can decrease performance and negatively impact economic and social well-being. More now than ever, the study of resilience and its intersection with risk, efficiency, and security is of paramount importance for increasingly complex systems to function.

In this webinar, Dr. Igor Linkov of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and Carnegie Mellon University will discuss his research into resilience and the cascading socioeconomic effects of disruptions to transportation networks. He will use a resilience analysis of roads and railways as well as of DFW airport as a case study to demonstrate why resilience investment is critical to regional economies.
