Geohazards, Extreme Weather Events, and Climate Conditions—The Development of FHWA Guidance
Our nation’s transportation system is routinely impacted by geohazards and climate conditions. Recent examples include wildfires followed by rainfall and associated mudslides in California as well as intense rainfall with associated flooding leading to roadway washouts in Texas, Virginia, and Maryland. Guidance is being developed to assist state departments of transportation (DOTs) and federal land management agencies (FLMAs) in developing or improving existing transportation geohazards programs. This includes considerations for climate conditions and extreme weather events. To respond to the threat of geohazards, many state transportation agencies have developed geohazards management programs. A geohazards program helps agencies manage cost-effective methods for characterizing and reducing risk.
