    Given the increasing frequency and severity of natural disasters, including hurricanes, floods, wildfires and other hazard events, and the dire predictions of climate scientists that things will be worse, we need to redouble efforts to mitigate climate change, and at the same time we must get serious about adaptation to reduce the catastrophic risks of a worsening climate and sea level rise. The good news is that when we look at buildings and urban infrastructure, there is overlap in adaptation and mitigation strategies. Identifying these measures and implementing the ones that provide the biggest benefit for the least cost for any given asset starts with conducting a climate risk and resilience assessment. This session will provide an introduction to the growing practice of climate risk assessment, and how to use it to assess and mitigate vulnerabilities, while improving the resilience and performance of new and existing buildings. It will also specifically review new regulations requiring some companies to assess and disclose climate-related financial risks. This interactive presentation will also review strategies for the design and retrofit of buildings to increase resilience, and discuss the role of material manufacturers, design professionals, and construction teams to create resilient structures.

    Our nation's buildings are aging. Modernization of those aging buildings can preserve and protect them while also maintaining historical integrity and accuracy. Metal roofs and walls can offer the benefits of low weight, flexibility, energy efficiency, wind resistance, fire safety, and easy solar attachment for the purpose of restoring or preserving aging structures. In this session, we will uncover why metal is a great choice for older structures.
