Looking back at the first 4TU.RE Speed Talks Seminar of 20 November 2024

During major floodings, relentless streams of water endanger people’s lives at home, disrupting roads and infrastructure and rendering hospitals inaccessible. When that happens, other hospitals need to cover a larger area and a greater influx of patients, like during the Covid-19 pandemic. Risks that emerge are damages to water supply and illnesses due to stagnant water. This is where prevention of floodings and pandemics are interrelated. Maria Pregnolato and Bas Jonkman, both active members of the 4TU.Resilience Engineering community, contribute to a new research project with their expertise in floods and water management, adding another relevant perspective to disaster and pandemic preparedness.

On Wednesday 13 June we welcomed 23 enthusiastic researchers to our workshop on transdisciplinary approaches to co-producing resilience assessments. This time we were joined by some new faces from WUR as we organised a combination with a lunch seminar. Hosting the lunch seminar proved to be very beneficial for establishing new connections and hopefully future collaborations.

What does a disaster cost? Quantatative analisys and numbers tell us a lot, but not the whole story. Read here why the WHAT may be more important than the HOW MUCH a disaster costs.

During this workshop we discussed actionable strategies for implementing urban resilience, understanding community-infrastructure dynamics, and optimizing logistics networks for resilience.
