Here are some highlights from the interview.
First, can you briefly discuss your work with Jacobs in Florida?
As the Florida Resilience Lead, I bring my expertise in natural hazard and climate resilience to enhance long-term performance of infrastructure in the face of climate uncertainty.
At Jacobs, we take a holistic look at all natural, climate and man-made hazards to inform project planning and design, which ultimately reduces the cost of ownership for our clients. Our approach focuses on operational continuity via an all-hazard risk reduction and enhanced system reliability.
