Session

Panelists will focus on resilience as an investment enhancement and discuss how resilience-linked bonds/loans can improve lending terms and returns for disaster mitigation. This approach can enhance the business case for resilience investments and provide opportunities for Insurance premium reductions and for stronger Public-Private Partnerships that can improve private sector participation to strengthen America's Infrastructure and achieve broader economic benefits. Innovative engineering decision support frameworks, along with advanced heuristic algorithms for financial investment optimizations will be discussed using real-life examples for multiple hazards, along with future-forward looking building and lifeline codes.
