Natural disasters are unavoidable. Is your community prepared? With natural disasters wreaking havoc across the globe, communities are increasingly experiencing the destructive impact to their critical electrical and communications systems—all while being responsible for the safety of residents. In the U.S. alone, through early Oct. 2021, 15 of the 18 weather/climate disasters involved water. These 15 water events each resulted in billion-dollar losses, as reported by the U.S. National Centers for Environmental Information.
Minnesota-based Polywater released an issue paper, Sealing Conduits for Resilient Electrical and Telecommunication Systems that is based on global research and provides its years of experience helping field professionals address the challenges of system hardening. The paper offers guidance and reasoning for making infrastructure investments that mitigate service disruptions, downtime and discontinue the vicious cycle of costly annual repairs. Polywater’s leadership believes there is a positive payoff that is gained from research and investment in technologies that reliably protect systems.
“Water events that cause major disruptions uncover systems that have not been properly sealed,” said Erik Freyser, CEO of Polywater. “Natural disasters are unavoidable, so it’s essential to have a plan for increased infrastructure resilience. The goal of our issue paper isn’t simply to look at the global impact of water events but to draw on our team’s expertise in creating solutions to solve specific field challenges.”
The issue paper will allow decision-makers to realize successful outcomes by:
- Providing an analysis framework that takes a holistic view of systems to be sealed and reviews the complete project
- Establishing requirements for success and incorporating key variables
- Setting clear objectives that enable matching a sealant solution to a project
- Attaining resilient systems and long-term system benefits
“There is a solution to most situations,” says Sheri Dahlke, Polywater’s technical director. “Our experience partnering with our customers, understanding their challenges, and developing solutions based on specific field scenarios has proven this out,” according to Dahlke. “I believe this paper offers valuable information on the importance of choosing the appropriate sealing technology, including a road map to drive effective, decision-making for each unique project.”

Elliptic Sets the Engineering Bar for On-Chain Risk With “Built for Compliance” Paper as New Rules Take Hold and Banks Launch a Joint Stablecoin1.10.2026 15:40:00 CEST | Press release
Built for compliance arrives as crypto compliance rules tighten worldwide and a bank-led stablecoin enters the market Elliptic, the global leader in on-chain risk management, today published Built for compliance, a paper setting out the nine engineering decisions that determine whether an on-chain risk system can support fast, accurate and defensible compliance decisions at agentic scale. Machines are already moving money on their own, at machine speed. Compliance teams now have to make hundreds of thousands of decisions a day, at that same speed. However, many on-chain risk systems were never engineered to support that pace. A compliance system that computes exposure on a schedule delivers stale results. One that defines blockchain coverage loosely enough lets a screening miss exposure entirely. A system that skips testing disaster recovery, a spike or an outage, takes down the customer’s compliance system too. That gap between machine speed and system design is exactly what regulator
