Storm Damage Preparation and Assessment
Manage episode 432984307 series 3478856
In our season 2 premier, Ed Naylor, Senior Materials Engineering Associate at Nouryon, sits down with co-hosts Heather Allain and Marc Cook to discuss storm damage in the context of chemical facilities. They explore how to identify site-specific vulnerabilities, the unique hazards hurricanes pose, and essential preparation steps before storm season. The discussion also covers the role of hazard response teams, the cascading effects of storm damage, post-storm assessments, and the material degradation mechanisms to anticipate.
