Registration open: NSF Workshop on Societal Shock Resilience, June 7-8& 11

[announce at designsafe-ci.org]

Dear Colleagues,



Members of the NSF Convergence Accelerator Program
<https://www.nsf.gov/od/oia/convergence-accelerator/> invite you to
participate in its *Societal Shock Resilience Workshop*.



Registration is now open <https://forms.gle/Yn9HhCwt4fthFz6UA> for this
event, which takes place *June 7, 8 and 11*, from 9:00am to 1:00pm PDT each
day.



*June 7 & 8*: Plenary and break-out sessions. (Up to 600 participants.)

*June 11*: Focused-group working meetings. (Up to 50 individuals will be
selected to participate. Attendance to June 7 & 8 sessions is required.)



*Motivation. *Extreme stressing events (“shocks”) such as hurricanes,
earthquakes, floods, wildfires, and pandemics disrupt societal functions at
both local and (increasingly) national levels. Yet, resilience and
adaptation tools that can confront the consequences of such shocks are
still not implemented or even developed. This is mostly due to the lack of
interaction and collaboration among the different communities involved in
potential solutions.



*Goals. *In this workshop, we will gather input on what is needed to foster
convergence that improves resilience in an impactful way within a few
years. The workshop is supported by the NSF Convergence Accelerator Program
<https://www.nsf.gov/od/oia/convergence-accelerator/> and will bring
together a multi-hazard, multi-disciplinary, and trans-disciplinary
community to discuss and revise a proposed *Societal Shock Resilience
Framework* that will most benefit from the NSF convergence approach. The
goal will be to identify interactions and actionable pathways to “connect
the silos” of the framework’s elements (society, shock, exposure,
vulnerability, response, recovery, mitigation).



*An open call to a broad community. *We invite registrants that span a
broad range of relevant expertise, including:



·      hazard assessment (e.g., geoscience, climate science);

·      ecologic, biological, and environmental science;

·      engineering disciplines (civil, mechanical, electrical);

·      mathematics and statistics modeling;

·      computer science and software engineering, data science;

·      social sciences (communication, education, urban planning, public
policy, disaster management, public health, emergency response, and network
analysis); and

·      economics and financial stress modeling.



Experts from these disciplines also span a wide range of sectors, including
academia, government at all levels, and the private sector (for- and
not-for-profit).

In addition, stakeholders and communities depend on various entities for
their resilience, which in turn span several sectors and multiple
industries, the natural and built environments, energy and storage
facilities, distributed infrastructure such as transportation and
utilities, and communication systems. We invite stakeholders from these
categories as well.
