PREFACE

This manual of practice, Climate-Resilient Infrastructure: Adaptive Design and Risk Management (MOP 140), was prepared by a development team that includes members of the ASCE Committee on Adaptation to a Changing Climate between 2016 and 2018.

Some of the content has been outdated by recent events. For instance, the book contains references to ASCE Standard 7-10, which has been superseded by ASCE Standard 7-16. The differences between the two versions are not central for the purposes of this manual. Therefore, the Development Team decided to keep the references to ASCE 7-10.

In addition, President Donald Trump has canceled Executive Order 13690 and the federal flood risk management standard. The review undertaken by standards experts and the ASCE Blue-Ribbon Panel considered these changes, and the Development Team has responded to applicable comments.
