#51 Covid 19: Disaster Resilient Infrastructure
The rapid and
exponential spread of the new coronavirus, COVID 19 is changing the way that we
live and work. First detected in December 2019 in Wuhan City, China, within
three months it was a global pandemic. To keep operating through the crisis
businesses turned to digital technologies to support home working. But this
connectivity relied on infrastructure, from internet services to power supplies.

infrastructure consultant Mott MacDonald how resilient infrastructure systems
cope with massive labour disruption and explore lessons learned from previous disasters.
