Abstract
In 2021 the UK government published a review of lessons learned by the UK highways sector from extreme weather emergencies. As described in this paper, the review focused on the sector’s engagement with integrated emergency management and managing highways as critical ‘lifeline’ infrastructure. Focusing on robustness, reliability, redundancy, rapidity, resourcefulness and recovery, the review identified the need to develop consistent rapid impact assessment reporting, linked to regional- and national-level mutual aid contingencies. Underpinning this was the need to strengthen highway engineers’ ability to ‘prepare for their worst day, rather than their average day’.
期刊介绍：
Civil Engineering, listed by the Web of Science, is the ICE''s flagship journal. Practical and diverse in its scope, it publishes overview papers for the non-specialist on any subject relevant to civil engineering today. Topics range from landmark projects to philosophical, ethical, environmental, management and safety issues.
Peer review, copyediting, and colour publication by Civil Engineering are free. If accepted, published papers are easily found by Google search, as well as in specialist citation indexes. There is also the option of making your article open access, should you wish to.
Published authors receive a free electronic copy of their article to share with their peers. Furthermore, as well exposure to ICE''s 91,000-strong membership, published papers are promoted via our social media channels, accessing the wider civil engineering community.
It is free to submit a paper to this journal. Papers appear Ahead of Print (below) as soon as they are ready to be published. Ahead of print articles are fully citable. using the DOI system
