Measuring Climate and Natural Hazard Resilience Performance of Transport Assets and Services

Transport networks across Australia and New Zealand are increasingly experiencing disruption and damage from extreme weather, natural hazards and long-term climate change. While the transport sector’s preparedness for and response to these impacts is improving, organisations continue to face challenges in demonstrating the value of proactive investment in resilience.

This webinar presented findings from a new Austroads research report showcasing:

• a structured 6-step process to support transport agencies in practically measuring resilience to climate- and natural-hazards
• an accompanying register that provides a set of potential metrics, designed to help users prioritise those that best suit their objectives, context and capability.

These resources were developed through a targeted literature review, industry engagement, and pilot testing with selected Austroads members.

Attendees learnt how these resources can support consistent measurement of resilience performance. The webinar also outlined their potential applications for resilience planning, performance monitoring and investment prioritisation.

This webinar was presented by Kieran Power, Shannon Regan and Aidan McGann.
