ASCE’s Post-Disaster Studies Need Procedural Changes - ENR | McGraw-Hill Construction

Description:
An independent task force commissioned by the American Society of Civil Engineers in response to criticism of its engineering studies of natural and human-caused disasters concludes the group should still conduct such postmortems, but with changes in how it handles their funding, levels of expertise, media relations and potential conflicts of interest. ASCE says it will have a “plan of action” by mid-October to implement process changes, while a separate internal committee continues a confidential review of allegations of unprofessional conduct against individual group members.
