Protect existing and future infrastructure by examining present and future hazards on dam infrastructure

Approach

Tactics

Evaluate existing inventory for capacity and structural integrity using projected climate models for extreme storm events
Incorporate projected changes in extreme storm events in structure design and bridge location.
Facilitate partnering efforts between private, local, state, and federal jurisdictions.

Sensitivity

• Increased storm frequency and intensity will have broad implications for bridge and dam/canals/levees design and maintenance.

Strategy

Reduce the risk and long-term impacts of severe disturbances
