Description
Joe Gilliette, 50, is director of maintenance at Advanced Chemicals in Houston. Previously, he was chief safety and risk management. When Joe came to Houston five years ago, he did not expect to ever see so much water. It wasn't just the huge amount of rain. Joe lives in the villa neighbourhood near North Eldridge Parkway, which was completely flooded when authorities decided to do a controlled spill of water from the overflowing Addicks reservoir on 28 August. Joe could not go to work. Streets and peripheral roads were inaccessible. Joe and his wife Andrea, like neighbours, were trapped on the floor for a few days. Joe tried as best he could to work from home and communicate with his co-workers. But behind a PC, it is difficult to assess the safety aspects of a completely disrupted production unit.
Natural violence and dramatic images. Unforeseen disruptive circumstances. The unthinkable turns out to happen anyway. Hurricanes, common storms and excessive water violence we cannot prevent or combat. What can we do?
The KIVI departments of Construction & Hydraulic Engineering and Risk Management & Engineering study the resilience of infrastructure and technical installations. How does a city, an area, a country, a company stand when nature attacks? Resilience is a necessity. Intensive and effective risk management is indispensable. Putting the new ISO standard 22316 Organisational Resilience to it. What lessons to draw for the Netherlands? All that at the Resilience and Risk Management symposium.
Pre-study
One working day after registration, participants will receive the Organisational Resilience and Risk Management Syllabus and a practice case by e-mail. Participants are requested to print out this practice case, formulate a response and bring this response digitally to the meeting.
Participants work out the practice case before coming to the Working Symposium. The questions and points of interest are raised during the discussions. Knowledge is exchanged and insights deepened.
