More Pragmatism

There's more on mitigation is a recent Building4Change post. The ICE has recently reported on the state of the county's infrastructure and its ability to cope with extreme weather conditions.

To lift a quote:
“It is becoming clear that extreme weather events will become more frequent, and it is time that factors such as availability, resilience and the ‘domino effect’ across the networks when one network fails – as we saw recently when our flood defences were overwhelmed and this in turn disrupted transport, energy, water and waste networks – are rooted into the criteria used to make decisions on which projects go ahead so new infrastructure is more ‘future proofed’.”
Seems like sound advice to me.
