Abstract:
There have been numerous reported accidents and incidents caused by surge events around the world. Such events can have a serious impact on companies, the environment, and sometimes even society as a whole. There is a clear motivation, therefore, to look at strategies for reducing the frequency of these events. A possible direction involves the development of guidelines and standards addressing various types of surge phenomena and requiring surge analysis according to accepted best practices. This is a call to the community to agree on these best practices and then take the lead in developing these guidelines and standards.
