Diving Into Digital Twins for the New Emerging Technologies Series
2020 was a year we will never forget—from natural disasters and social unrest to a pandemic that followed us into 2021. NIBS' monthly webinar series addresses how a year of unique challenges can ultimately build resilience in our communities, our infrastructure and the places we live, work, learn and play. Topics include:
- Post-COVID-19 environments
- Natural disaster mitigation
- Diversity and inclusion in the built environment
- Social equity
- Technical roundtables

Resilience 2021: The Shift from Relief and Response to Hazard Mitigation
Mitigation is the sustained action that reduces or eliminates long-term risk to people and property from natural hazards and their effects. Over the last decade, the United States has seen a shift in emergency management from relief and response to reducing hazard risk. Key points in this effort are building resilient communities and creating community-based disaster management plans.

Resilience 2021: The Importance of Seismic Functional Recovery and Community Resilience in the Built Environment
Nearly half of the U.S. population (150 million people) reside in portions of 42 states that are at risk of experiencing a damaging earthquake within the next 50 years. That’s according to the NIST-FEMA Special Publication Recommended Options for Improving the Built Environment for Post-Earthquake Reoccupancy and Functional Recovery Time.

Resilience 2021: The Pandemic’s Impact on Technology in the Built Environment
The COVID-19 crisis presented architecture, engineering and construction companies with an enormous challenge: transitioning an industry long reliant on personal relationships and in-person connections to a remote, digital environment. Like other hands-on sectors, builders and other trades can’t ply their trades over Zoom.

Resilience 2021: Extreme Weather and Rising Sea Levels Cause More Flood Damage Every Year. What Can We Do?
Floods are the most common and widespread of all weather-related natural disasters. According to testimony from Federal Emergency Management Agency representative Michael Grimm, flood damage cost approximately $17 billion each year between 2010 and 2018.

Resilience 2021: The Hidden Costs of Environmental Savings from Remote Work
Our expert panel examines the hidden costs of remote work during a global lockdown. When COVID-19 brought the world to a standstill, it was thought that carbon emissions would be reduced. We are now finding that is not the case.
