When a disaster strikes, government officials must send clear, precise, and timely emergency alerts through the Integrated Public Alert & Warning System (IPAWS). However, many officials lack the soft skills and confidence needed to press the “send” button. Join OnSolve for a complimentary webinar on April 24th for a life-saving paradigm shift. Fear of making a mistake and hesitation in using IPAWS leads to far too many instanc...

This course provides an introduction of HEC-RAS with applications to dam safety. The course provides a hands-on opportunity to use the program and resolve specific questions. The objective of this course is to review the basic principles of open channel hydraulics as they relate to the natural stream environment with application to dam safety. Bridges, culverts, and in-line structures will be discussed and both steady and unsteady flow modelin...

Join us on February 13, from 12:00 PM - 2:00 PM Eastern for Triaxial Lab Testing for Earth Dams. The triaxial test is the premier laboratory test to evaluate shear strength conditions for earthen embankment dams. This test is common practice in geotechnical engineering but requires a good understanding of the different laboratory steps and procedures. This webinar will present concepts of the triaxial test as it applies to embankment dams. Dif...

Severe weather events are on the rise and so are the costs. According to NOAA, from 1980-2022 the U.S. had an annual average of 8.1 confirmed weather/climate disaster events with losses exceeding $1 billion each. Yet, in the last 5 years, the annual average has increased to 18.0 events. And in 2023 alone the U.S. faced 25 confirmed billion-dollar weather/climate disaster events. What will we experience in 2024? While some organizations are sti...

On-scene commanders make decisions in the high-threat law enforcement context of hostage rescue, armed barricaded suspects, and armed suicidal individuals that can result in successful or catastrophic outcomes. The OpTac International Critical Incident Leadership and Decision-Making Program is based on Dr. Stuart A. Meyers’ research published in the books, High-Threat Decisions: When It’s a Matter of Life and Death and SWAT Operati...
