• Abstract:
  This research’s objective is to assist the Kentucky Transportation Cabinet (KYTC) in its efforts to ; develop strategies to address natural hazard vulnerabilities and improve the resiliency of ; Kentucky’s transportation infrastructure. Recent federal legislation calls for state ; transportation agencies to develop a risk-based asset management plan for National Highway ; System (NHS) assets that includes consideration of natural hazards. Similarly, the Federal ; Highway Administration (FHWA) calls for state transportation agencies to identify potential ; vulnerabilities associated with extreme weather events and climate change, and to incorporate ; these findings into transportation planning, design, and maintenance practices. ; This report consists of two parts: ; - An overview of vulnerability assessments and natural hazards for KYTC. This is intended ; to inform and guide transportation system vulnerability assessments for Kentucky. ; - Pilot vulnerability assessment for the National Highway System in KYTC District 1. The ; District 1 pilot adopts a framework for conducting the assessment for particular ; locations. Lessons learned from the District 1 pilot project will direct future assessments ; in the remaining KYTC districts.
