Flood Risks to Historic Structures
August 26, 2020 |
Overdevelopment, sea level rise, and increased precipitation associated with climate change are increasing the frequency and severity of coastal, riverine, and urban flood hazards. Compounding this issue, historic buildings located on sites that are susceptible to flooding often also contain numerous vulnerabilities to heighten the risk of substantial flood-related damage.
Join us Wednesday, August 26th at 12:00 pm EDT for a lunchtime webinar led by Adam Rush, P.E., Senior Consulting Engineer with Simpson Gumpertz & Heger, that explores historical and contemporary flood mitigation solutions within the context of historic preservation and increasing flood resilience. This presentation will also discuss the actions local communities and governments are taking to address this problem and how regulation changes impact historic preservation projects.
This program is free for DCPL members; $20 for non-members.
