Please bring a laptop to this workshop to take advantage of the hands-on assessment time included in this workshop.
Planning can help reduce uncertainty, facilitate coordination, and drive performance -and resilience planning is no different. Resilience planning and implementation of identified solutions can help Federal facilities continue critical missions or return to service faster in the event of an energy or water disruption. But many facility staff don't know where to start or how to prioritize future investments. Attend this workshop to explore FEMP's new Technical Resilience Navigator (TRN) Lite, a streamlined resilience planning tool which aims to help facility staff answer these questions and identify potential resilience solutions to address their site's biggest risk drivers. Bring your data to complete a TRN Lite assessment at the training or leverage example cases to show the diversity of sites, hazards, and potential solutions with which the TRN Lite can assist. Visit the TRN website (https://trn.pnnl.gov/lite) to learn about key or explore example data in the TRN Lite to help you identify what types of data you should start collecting to make the most of this exiting and interactive workshop.
