Transportation Emergency Management and Security Summit and Exchange

In October 2018, TRB, NCHRP, Federal Highway Administration (FHWA), and American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials (AASHTO) held the Resilient Innovations Summit and Exchange (RISE) in Denver, Colorado. Attendees at RISE included senior-level state department of transportation (DOT) representatives including CEOs and deputy directors, academia, private sector, FHWA, TRB, AASHTO, and other federal agency representatives. The goal of the RISE conference was to provide an opportunity for key stakeholders to meet and discuss a range of resilience issues encompassing man-made and natural disasters. A report summarizing the outcomes of the conference was developed to communicate the topics addressed during RISE and set a framework for state DOTs as they worked to improve transportation system resilience within their agencies. Much has changed since 2018. There is a need to hold another summit to support state DOT emergency management and security managers. The objectives of this project are (1) to organize and hold a Transportation Emergency Management and Security Summit & Exchange for state DOT practitioners, federal agency partners, academia, and private sector to share advances in this field and best practices and lessons learned and (2) produce a summary report to capture lessons learned and best practices shared during the summit and exchange.
