Safer Infrastructure: New Standards for Building Resilience Against Extreme Weather.

This law allocates funds for scientific research aimed at creating new, improved engineering and building standards. The goal is to ensure that roads, utilities, and residential buildings are more resilient to the effects of climate change, such as floods, droughts, or land subsidence. This means greater safety and a lower risk of disruption to essential services in the future.
Key points
Supports research into the impact of extreme weather on subsurface infrastructure (foundations, pipes, cables) and soil properties.
Development of new design standards and building codes that account for multiple hazards simultaneously (e.g., earthquakes and floods).
Requires a workshop with experts and the construction industry to establish a framework for designing disaster-resilient infrastructure.
