• Abstract:
  This handbook is designed to help transportation practitioners incorporate natural hazard resilience into asset management. Upfront, it summarizes who to include in this planning process and how different groups (e.g., asset management, environment) can work together on this topic. The handbook then explains how to develop a baseline understanding of the transportation networks’ exposure and vulnerability to extreme weather and climate change. This understanding lays the groundwork for the integration of resilience into asset management. From there, the handbook steps through the core elements of an asset management plan, providing ideas and emerging practices on how to consider natural hazard resilience in the asset inventory, the performance gap assessment, asset management objectives and targets, the risk management process, lifecycle planning, investment strategies and financial plans, and information on monitoring risks over time. An appendix includes case studies on a series of State Department of Transportation pilots on incorporating resilience into asset management.
