Dear Grace Kang,

Here's the latest news from PEER...

------------------------------
"Seismic Resilience 25 Years after Northridge:
Accomplishments and Challenges”
PEER Annual Meeting, January 17-18, 2019
Program details & early-bird deadline tomorrow!

The 2019 PEER Annual Meeting "*Seismic Resilience 25 Years after
Northridge: Accomplishments and Challenges*"
<https://berkeley.us1.list-manage.com/track/click?u=9d1d871a01eed9f3efe40ca92&id=561ae2d6ae&e=7d9655e8c8>
will
be held Thursday and Friday, January 17-18, 2019 at the Mong Auditorium on
the UCLA campus.

Presentations include an overview of the Northridge earthquake, its impact
on the community, and lessons learned.  Advances and challenges since the
earthquake will also be discussed.

Forward-looking sessions feature research and applications on topics
including:

   - Ground motion and geohazards
   - PBEE applications – to regional lifeline systems; to promote discounts
   for single-family dwellings
   - Advances in infrastructure monitoring and reconnaissance
   - New trends in seismic design of bridges
   - Computational tools for simulating natural hazard effects and
   community resilience

local
time. Whereas an initial tsunami warning has been lifted and initial
reports of life loss and injury are few, the impact to buildings,
infrastructure, and the economy is still being evaluated as numerous
aftershocks have been recorded after the initial event.

PEER has been engaged with the Structural Extreme Events Response (StEER)
network
<https://berkeley.us1.list-manage.com/track/click?u=9d1d871a01eed9f3efe40ca92&id=0af1b6b156&e=7d9655e8c8>
