Climate Adaptation
Climate extremes are affecting public infrastructure in unexpected ways.
Increasing freeze-thaw cycles, fires, floods, droughts, and extreme weather are growing threats that must be managed. UrbanRe uses an integrated risk management approach to give actionable, implementable strategies to reduce risks to communities.
Community-Level Risk Assessment
Understanding the greatest threats to your community’s well-being in an emergency is the first step to unlocking effective responses. UrbanRe uses proprietary and industry-leading tools to evaluate cross-cutting risks to infrastructure and built areas, from catastrophes like wildfires and floods to persistent risks like drought. Prioritizing the assets at highest risk will help direct funds to where they are needed to preserve public services.
Risk Response Strategies
Resilience is built by implementing multiple layers of protection that shield infrastructure from climate-related threats. Holistic re-construction of infrastructure is usually cost-prohibitive, while other strategies including climate-resilient retrofitting, emergency response strategies, and natural asset management can have significant positive impacts with a greater net return on investment for your community. While we don’t know what the future holds, a good plan equips your community to be ready for what happens.
