2010 Hurricane Season: Tools for Understanding Risk

May 05, 2010

Hurricane Season is right around the corner and DHS is sponsoring a webinar called 2010 Hurricane Season: Tools for Understanding Risk

Background on the webinar follows:

Each year, the Nation braces for hurricane season as communities along the Gulf of Mexico and the East Coast prepare for potentially catastrophic losses, and partners across the country plan for supply shocks that could impact every aspect of the national economy. Whether partners are in the path of the storm or preparing for anticipated supply chain disruptions, the Homeland Infrastructure Threat and Risk Analysis Center (HITRAC) can support their decision-making and the expeditious recovery and reconstitution of critical infrastructure systems and functions.

This CIKR Learning Series Webinar will highlight HITRAC's hurricane-related advanced modeling, simulation, and analysis capabilities. The Webinar will also present dynamic hurricane operational risk analysis conducted using the integrated Incident Risk Analysis Cell (iRAC). Available to the Department's critical infrastructure partners, iRAC is an invaluable tool for improving pre-incident planning, prioritizing incident response, and expediting reconstitution activities.

The online event will be held on May 12, 1:00-2:00PM EDT
