Brief Project Outline:

Reliable, safe and resilient critical infrastructure, which is able to supply water, energy, communications, waste services and transport systems, is essential to society. Society needs to understand how infrastructure will evolve with environmental changes. Our infrastructure is a system of interconnected systems and a strong understanding of the interdependencies between infrastructure assets is essential. This includes the impact of failure due to hazard events linked to environmental change. This project will help to develop adaptation actions towards multi hazard risk reduction, and the cascading and the compound nature of disasters on infrastructure, both locally and across national frontiers.
