<p style="margin-right:15.0pt; margin-bottom:5.0pt; margin-left:15.0pt">Social media communications are a vital mode of publicizing our successes and works-in-progress. The goal is for all NHERI EFs, along with the SimCenter, DesignSafe, and the NCO, to use
Twitter and Facebook and post updates every week. In this way, we can exponentially share our progress, and raise awareness of natural hazards engineering research.</p>

<p style="margin-right:15.0pt; margin-bottom:5.0pt; margin-left:15.0pt">On March 18-19, the NHERI network is hosting a special workshop in Alexandria, VA, to advance the NHERI Science Plan. A multidisciplinary, international group of invited experts will discuss
ways to use traditional and disruptive technologies for building a more sustainable civil and social infrastructure.</p>
<p style="margin-right:15.0pt; margin-bottom:5.0pt; margin-left:15.0pt">A key workshop goal is to develop research campaigns that incorporate both traditional and non-traditional engineering modes together with social science considerations for solving problems
involving windstorms, earthquakes and landslides, and tsunamis and storm surge.</p>
<p style="margin-right:15.0pt; margin-bottom:5.0pt; margin-left:15.0pt">Among the speakers are six early-career researchers sharing their visions for resilience and keynote talks from three notable researchers with successful approaches in astronomy, science
of team-science and bio-inspired concepts.</p>

so destructive. It made me start asking, why? We choose to build in a particular way at a particular place that makes what we love vulnerable. As a structural engineer, I can build differently. I can build to be resilient. I can build to be stronger. I can
build houses to be resistant to these wind effects."</p>
