About the session
New technologies provide better ways of predicting, preventing and responding to natural disasters and preparing ourselves for future extreme events, terror strikes, pandemics and climate shocks, but they also bring new dependencies and new threats. In this presentation, the speaker discusses the latest engineering research and practice on disaster relief, flood prevention, cybersecurity and energy security. He also looks at ways that concepts of resilience and risk can be better incorporated into the development of new infrastructures and technologies.
