NOAA forecasts a below-normal 2026 Atlantic hurricane season, but building risk is never defined by storm count alone. For owners, facility managers, and insurers, preparedness means knowing where they may be vulnerable before a storm arrives, and having the right forensic and emergency response engineering support in place after it passes.
Resilience Master Planning goes beyond designing a single building, bridge, or infrastructure system and seeks to foster entire communities at different scales.
Emergency planning and preparedness may often come as an afterthought, but it is crucial to take a proactive approach that incorporates operations and maintenance considerations into early project stages.
Renewables or renewable energy sources are key to the energy transition, not only because they reduce our dependency on finite and high-GHG-emitting sources (i.e., fossil fuels), but also because they leverage clean, naturally derived sources that replenish at a higher rate than they are consumed.
A two-pronged approach of decarbonization and resilience can help combat climate change while dealing with today’s shocks and stresses more effectively.
For specific geographic locations, hurricanes are a near certainty—it’s a matter of when, not if. Our firm has extensive experience helping clients both plan for the inevitable and execute a rapid assessment approach in the aftermath of a storm.
