Resilience Management in PT for North America

Public transport networks are vulnerable to a wide array of incidents that can disrupt or terminate services temporarily. It is crucial to prepare in advance and manage these situations effectively during a crisis. These incidents range from accidents and natural events such as floods, typhoons, and earthquakes to terrorist attacks. They can vary from minor, localized emergencies to full-scale crises and everything in between.

Effective planning and regular practice of response strategies are essential to ensure business continuity and maintain a resilient network. When an incident occurs, a coordinated and well-managed response is vital.

Climate change is a real and pressing phenomenon impacting human life and necessitating changes in standard business practices. Public transport services and infrastructure must adapt to the effects of climate change.

In addition to natural disasters and climate change, public transport services are also vulnerable to financial crises and other incidents that pose financial risks to service provision.

The aim of this training program is to equip participants with best practices and knowledge regarding natural disasters and financial crisis enabling them to benchmark and enhance their emergency preparedness, response, recovery plans and business continuity.
