Engineers, architects, and land surveyors play a vital role before, during, and after disasters. In this webinar, we will discuss various types of natural hazards, explore disaster data and trends, and examine each stage of the disaster life cycle. We will study the damages caused by Hurricanes Katrina and Sandy, describe the important new features of the overall defense line that now encircles greater New Orleans, and discuss how to protect New York City and surrounding areas against future hurricanes. In addition, we will go over the following topics in detail: building homes in coastal areas and the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP) elevation certificate.
This course includes a multiple-choice quiz at the end, which is designed to enhance the understanding of course materials.
Note to Webinar Attendees:
Our live webinars (web seminars) are considered as "Courses of Learning" (live courses) by the New York State Board for Engineering and Land Surveying and as "Timed & Monitored Courses" by the Ohio State Board for Professional Engineers and Surveyors. Unlike the traditional seminars held in a classroom setting, our webinars deliver live instruction to your home or office. You will be able to interact directly with our instructor during a webinar through audio channel or chat box. However, you must attend the webinar at a scheduled date and time. We will verify your attendance through our online webinar platform. The certificate of completion will not be issued unless you attend the webinar and pass a quiz (all quiz questions will be reviewed during the webinar). Thank you for your cooperation.
