The Ultimate Directory on Environment Webinars

This webinar will explore key apparatus-related topics within the ISO Fire Suppression Rating Schedule and is designed to help departments understand how their apparatus and related operations impact their community's grading.The webinar will look at the number of engines required by ISO’s grading, along with pump testing and how the maximum credits are achieved. Mike Morash will highlight what equipment needs to be carried, and outline creditable equipment, along with their equivalences.Before purchasing your next rig, Morash will explain how ISO can help you with that discussion in your community, including the distribution of resources and pump capacity and testing needed to achieve desired grades.Robbi King will join the program to look at the impact of apparatus maintenance and vehicle checks, and how those records will be scored, along with a discussion on apparatus-related training efforts to boost your score.Bring your apparatus questions to this interactive webcast and the presenters will address them.Speakers:• Michael C. Morash - Regional Vice President within Verisk’s Community Hazard Mitigation Division, ISO, and oversees the Public Protection Program (PPC), Building Code Adoption Code Program (BCEGS) and the Community Rating system (CRS).• Robbi King - Director of the solutions engineer team with Vector Solutions.

Don't miss the next webinar in the OCEAN ICE series, where we’ll turn our focus to Work Package 2 (WP2), exploring Cryosphere-ocean interaction, processes and feedbacks.Agenda• 14:00 – 14:05 Welcome (Nicolas Jourdain)• 14:05 – 14:25 Between a rock and a fast place: The collapse of Thwaites eastern ice shelf (Xiaohan Yuan)• 14:25 – 14:45 Deriving ice base topography from AUV-mounted long-range ADCPs in ice shelf cavities (Stina Wahlgren)• 14:45 – 15:05 Turbulence observations beneath the Fimbul Ice Shelf (Yixi Zheng)• 15:05 – 15:20 Break• 15:20 – 15:40 Iceberg grounding enhances the release of freshwater on the Antarctic continental shelf (Anna Olivé Abelló)• 15:40 – 16:00 Modelled iceberg dynamics and grounding in the Amundsen Sea, Antarctica (Yavor Kostov)• 16:00 – 16:20 Melting inside an ice-shelf fracture (Anna Wåhlin)About WP2: WP2 focuses on the key role that ice sheet-ocean interaction plays in melting ice shelves and the export and freshwater distribution of icebergs.Innovative AUV deployments under ‘warm’ ice shelves and the first such observations targeted at grounded icebergs will be conducted (supported by South Korean partners), along with observations of ‘cold’ ice shelf cavity circulation, isotopic concentrations and mixing via a Norwegian-supported borehole.These observations will push forward the state-of-the-art in model basal melt tuning and the development of new parameterisations of iceberg dynamics and oxygen isotope tracking for key community models (NEMO, UKESM). These in turn will inform WP4-6 modelling, examining future ice sheet dynamics and climate coupling.Join this webinar to learn more.Speakers: Nicolas Jourdain, Xiaohan Yuan, Stina Wahlgren, Yixi Zheng, Anna Olivé Abelló, Yavor Kostov, Anna Wåhlin

Sound advice to all IT professionals: “Always expect the unexpected.” And this certainly applies to unexpected network outages and security issues. If these incidents go unchecked, they can significantly impact business continuity.A thorough disaster recovery plan (DRP) is critical for maintaining business continuity. Deploying a Global Server Load Balancer (GSLB) as part of your DRP will enable enterprises to deliver applications with resiliency, availability, and reliability.Our upcoming webinar, Supercharge Your Disaster Recovery Strategy with Global Server Load Balancing, will discuss the key components of an effective DRP. Other topics include:• Leveraging GLSB to enhance disaster recovery strategies• Integrating 360 visibility as part of your disaster recovery strategy• Examining the benefits of a unified dashboard in GSLB architecturePresented by Naseer Husein.

Whenever hurricanes strike, wildfires rage, floods drown, or extreme heat swelters, they leave behind damage and destruction. Extreme weather events like these sometimes result in displacement, with people unable or unwilling to remain in their homes as climate disasters wreak havoc more frequently. But where can these climate-displaced people go? The nation is already experiencing a housing crisis, and displacement from natural disasters caused by climate change further strains resources. Disadvantaged communities with the least resources—including those displaced by climate hazards—are hit hardest. To better accommodate these groups, communities must adjust their zoning and land use policies.Join the Center for Zoning solutions for a webinar on best practices in planning and regulating for increased climate resiliency and anticipating climate migration impacts. We'll be joined by Jeff Roberts from the City of Cambridge, and Bridge Rauch from the Clean Air Coalition of Western New York, who will share how they've advocated for and introduced climate resiliency measures into their local zoning codes. We will also preview our upcoming report about climate havens.

This webinar will be moderated by Will Harris, VP of EnviroPod USA. Julia Watson of EnviroPod™ will present the innovative research, and James Lenhart of Stormwater Northwest and Mike Hannah of the EnviroPod™ team will be available for a live Q&A session after the presentation.Addressing California's Pioneering Approach and Global NeedsCalifornia leads the way in trash capture regulations, but inconsistent Catch Basin Insert (CBI) designs pose challenges. This webinar addresses the critical need for standardized, resilient CBIs to protect our waterways from trash, plastic pollution and other contaminants. We'll explore research contributing to the ASTM trash capture standard, focusing on ensuring effective designs that prevent flooding and optimize stormwater network performance.Beyond Current Practices: A Data-Driven ApproachCurrent California design standards rely on simplified calculations that can significantly overestimate CBI capacity. This webinar presents innovative research comparing four methods for evaluating CBI hydraulic capacity: laboratory testing, the commonly used orifice equation (with both assumed and empirical discharge coefficients), a novel numerical model, and advanced Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD).Who is this webinar for:This webinar offers crucial insights for regulators seeking to refine trash capture regulations and for consultants designing and implementing effective CBI systems. We will discuss the implications of these findings for California's current standards and the development of a globally consistent ASTM standard. Learn how to move beyond simplified calculations, incorporate data-driven approaches, and ensure the long-term resilience of your stormwater infrastructure in the face of evolving challenges.Presented by: Julia Watson, ResearcH and Regulatory Engineer.Earn 1 PDH credit for attending, simply contact us after the webinar to get a copy of your certificate.
