Decision question
After withdrawing from the project, is Engineer A obligated to notify local government officials of the identified storm surge risk and advocate for a protective building code, or does withdrawal alone discharge Engineer A's professional ethical obligations?
Focus
Engineer A's post-withdrawal obligations to notify public authorities and advocate for a protective building code in a no-code jurisdiction where the identified storm surge risk persists regardless of which engineer ultimately executes the project
Option1
After withdrawing, notify local government officials of the identified storm surge risk and the absence of a protective building code, and actively advocate for adoption of a building code incorporating the 100-year storm surge standard, providing the technical basis developed during the engagement
Option2
After withdrawing, engage local government officials in general terms to advocate for storm surge building codes in the jurisdiction without disclosing Client A's project-specific findings, on the grounds that the faithful agent obligation constrains project-specific disclosure even post-withdrawal
Option3
Treat withdrawal as fully discharging Engineer A's professional obligations, on the grounds that the risk finding is based on a newly released and not yet broadly validated algorithm, that Engineer A cannot compel the jurisdiction to act, and that post-withdrawal disclosure of a client's project to public authorities exceeds the scope of Engineer A's professional duty
Role
Engineer A Coastal Risk Assessment Engineer
