In Motion - The COMPASS Podcast
Transportation Resilience: Snow and Floods and Fires, Oh My!
Season 1, Ep. 7
•
While the Treasure Valley is relatively safe from catastrophic weather events such as hurricanes and widespread tornados, winter storms, spring flooding, and summer wildfires can still wreak havoc on our transportation system. The resulting impacts can range from mere inconveniences to being deadly. In this episode of In Motion, we are joined by Suseel Indrakanti with Cambridge Systematics, Inc. and Austin Miller, COMPASS Principal Planner to learn why proactively planning for a resilient transportation system is key to minimizing the impacts and disruptions caused by extreme weather and natural hazards and how we can make our transportation system more resilient when severe weather hits.
