Webinar | Emerging Threats to the Built Environment
Our ever-evolving, modern built environment challenges both the application and our understanding of safety. The threat of fire, while not new, is a risk that's evolved and manifests in many new ways. This presentation will identify these threats and offer pathways to managing safety in energy production, energy storage systems (lithium-ion batteries), wildland urban interface fires, competing objectives construction materials and sustainability, and regulatory compliance.
