NHERI Researchers Mobilize in September

For Hurricane Harvey, Irma and Maria, a number of resources - data, video and maps - have been made available on the DesignSafe-CI. A September 15 news release itemizes activities<https://www.designsafe-ci.org/community/news/2017/nsf-funded-hazard-engineers-mobilize-collect-data-plan-recovery/>. Researchers at the University of Florida are requesting volunteers to upload damage data<https://www.designsafe-ci.org/community/news/2017/ufl-requests-post-irma-damage-assessments/>. Also, after the recent earthquakes in Mexico, reconnaissance missions are underway to gather data.

NHERI User Forum Nominations Open

The NHERI UF seeks nominations of individuals to provide a broad representation of the NHERI community; self-nominations are acceptable. The members of the UF committee may not be from a NHERI awardee institution. At this point, the UF seek representatives from the coastal engineering community. Please share with friends and colleagues.

To submit your nomination, please visit:
https://www.designsafe-ci.org/facilities/nco/governance/user-forum/nomination/

Please send your nominations by October 15.

DatacenterHub: A Database Resource for NHERI Researchers

DatacenterHub<https://datacenterhub.org/> is an NSF-funded platform established in 2014 that enables researchers to access existing research databases and to create their own databases. On it, scientists and educators can find collections of post-earthquake reconnaissance data from reinforced concrete buildings - including thousands of photographs and videos - experiments on shear walls, RAPID data, bridge data, and more. DatacenterHub is maintained by Purdue University and is based on the HUBzero platform.
