Tank Farm (Bulk Fuel) Disaster Preparedness Workshop
Objectives and Discussion: How do we secure and protect bulk fuel storage tanks (>10 k) or congregated in tank farm in preparation for flood events or other natural disasters. What were the factors that led to better outcomes (i.e., facility is not compromised) after events (e.g., tanks were full, good maintenance practices)?
