He said the immediate response to the blackout showed "little evidence of emergency preparedness, of leadership in coping with the consequences of infrastructure collapse, or of integrated efforts at controlling the situation that arose".
"I think that the consequences of infrastructure failure we've seen this winter mean that needs to be given priority," said Prof Jim Hall, an academic who specialises in the impact of floods on infrastructure.
Impacts relate to the consequences of transportation infrastructure on individuals.
It starts by briefly reviewing the causes of deterioration of conventional concrete and steel, and then go on to reveal the financial consequences of deteriorating infrastructures.
The consequences of this poor infrastructure are grim: Mali has world's second highest mortality rate for children under five, and women have a 1 in 22 chance of dying due to pregnancy.
We describe a dynamic flow model on networks purposed to inform analyses by those concerned about consequences of disruptions to infrastructures and to help policy makers design robust mitigations.
The community of Flint, Michigan, began to experience the dire consequences of our aging water infrastructure first-hand when the city--to save money--switched its water source from the Detroit Water System to the Flint River nearly three years ago.
Simulation models can improve decisions meant to control the consequences of disruptions to critical infrastructures.
direct impacts of both landslides and flooding: consequences for life and personal injuries, buildings, and infrastructure, indirect consequences of landslides, for example, potential flooding/energetic waves, meandering, and the related consequences for life, buildings, and infrastructure.
Level of protection with regard to direct impacts of both landslides and flooding: consequences for life and personal injuries, buildings, and infrastructure, indirect consequences of landslides, for example, potential flooding/energetic waves, meandering, and the related consequences for life, buildings, and infrastructure.
The first is that we are seeing the consequences of inadequate investment in rail infrastructure.
