USAID Adaptation Community Meeting: Preparing Assets for Severe Climate Weather Threats and Reducing Vulnerability – A Risk-based Process
On February 16, 2017, the USAID Adaptation Community Meeting hosted Cardno principal Michael Bilney, MBA who discussed Cardno’s approach of a risk-based method to screen facilities and evaluate the most vulnerable to potential severe weather threats. The approach combines qualitative risk assessment, asset management principles, and facility condition and engineering assessments to identify site-specific vulnerabilities and their related adaptation and resilience improvement actions. Key activities of the analysis process, lessons learned, and adaptation and resilience improvement measures and strategies were summarized.
