SPUR Lunchtime Forum: Disasters and transportation systems
"When a major earthquake hits the Bay Area, we will experience power

accumulation of debris. What should we do now in order to safely and
quickly restore these crucial links? With the authors of SPUR’s latest
Resilient City policy report: transportation experts Irene Avetyan,
Christopher Barkley, Anthony Bruzzone, Sarah Karlinsky
and Brian Stokle."
