Resilience Session 11 - Extreme Weather: Coping Mechanisms

Friday, March 13 09:30 - 11:00
Chair: Marcelo MEDINA, WG1 Leader, Spanish Speaking Secretary, PIARC TC1.5, Chile
Room: Room 3

Resilience Session 11 - Extreme Weather: Coping Mechanisms (1.5) explores road engineering resilience in the face of extreme weather, a growing focus of PIARC Technical Committee 1.5 – Disaster Management. As climate-related events intensify, the session examines strategies to reduce vulnerability and ensure network functionality. Drawing on PIARC technical reports, it highlights Japan’s use of early warning systems and adaptive maintenance following typhoons, and Australia’s application of climate-resilient pavement materials in flood-prone areas. These examples showcase how integrating risk-informed planning, design adaptations, and emergency protocols can significantly enhance infrastructure performance. The session promotes knowledge sharing to support global efforts in building more resilient and reliable road networks.
