NHERI SimCenter workshop, Jan. 30 & 31

[announce at designsafe-ci.org]

Date: January 30 & 31, 2020, 8:30am - 5:30pm
Location: UC Berkeley, California

The SimCenter is hosting a workshop, “*Simulation and Data Needs to Support
Disaster Recovery Planning*
<https://designsafe-ci.us19.list-manage.com/track/click?u=cf97295b3279b4a8c19aeb00a&id=fcb64439bd&e=caef556674>,”
to engage a broad cross-section of stakeholders, users, and researchers to
exchange ideas about simulation tools, data, and results needed for
regional risk assessments. The goal of the workshop is to identify where
computational simulation tools, under development by the SimCenter as well
as other groups, can support the work of various government agencies and
organizations to promote resilience from natural disasters.
Format and Program

During the two-day workshop, core sessions will be followed by breakout
sessions organized by hazard (earthquake, wind, water) or participant role
(policy, engineering broad perspective, modeling details).  A reconvening
plenary will enable participants to share and synthesize breakout
discussions. Plenary core session topics are the following:

   -

   Session I: Connecting to Stakeholders
   Application Frameworks for Regional Simulation
   -

   Session II: Connecting Across Hazards
   Synergies in Regional Simulation
   -

   Session III: Connecting Across Disciplines
   Interdisciplinary Collaboration
   -

   Session IV: Data Sources
   Data Needs and Harvesting Opportunities

This workshop is targeted to stakeholders who develop policies,
professional engineers interested in the broad perspective, and analysis
and developers interested in modeling details.  Perspectives from the
academic/researcher or practitioner point of view with regional recovery
from earthquake, wind, or water events would be beneficial.
Apply to attend

There is no registration fee, and attendees who are interested in actively
participating are invited to submit an application that provides a summary
of their background and research interests. The preliminary program agenda
includes the application.
