StEER activates for Dorian</h3>

<p style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; margin-top: 10px">If you follow Slack channels during hurricane season, you witness natural hazards science happening in real time.</p>
<p style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; margin-top: 10px">On September 10, as the remnants of Hurricane Dorian were dissipating off the coast of southern Greenland, the NSF-funded Structural Extreme Events Reconnaissance network, known as
StEER, released its Preliminary Virtual Reconnaissance Report (PVRR) summarizing its findings on the impacts of Hurricane Dorian to the Bahamas and the U.S.</p>
<p style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; margin-top: 10px">That report was prepared by StEER’s Virtual Assessment Structural Team (VAST) and relies upon publicly available news reports, social media and other resources. The PVRR is accessible
at the NHERI DesignSafe website:<span> </span><a href="https://doi.org/10.17603/ds2-saf8-4d32" target="_blank">doi.org/10.17603/ds2-saf8-4d32</a>.</p>
<p style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; margin-top: 10px">The StEER PVRR serves as the precursor to the on-site investigations in the Bahamas, conducted by the StEER Field Assessment Structural Teams (FAST) — which included members of the
NHERI RAPID team.</p>

Fritz, a civil engineer who lived in Georgia, was visiting his parents' home in Zurich, Switzerland, for the holidays. The reporter's voice crackled through the speaker: There had been an earthquake in the Indian Ocean. A tsunami had followed. Thousands of
people were presumed dead."</p>
<p style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; margin-top: 10px">In the October issue of Wired, writer Gloria Dickie tells the story of NHERI researcher Hermann Fritz, on faculty at Georgia Tech, and his work with fellow tsunami researcher<span> </span><a href="https://viterbi.usc.edu/directory/faculty/Synolakis/Costas" target="_blank">Costas
Synolakis</a>, of the University of Southern California. The article, “How amateur video is helping us understand deadly tsunamis, relates how NSF-funded researchers used video to piece together tsunami wave behavior.</p>
<p style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; margin-top: 10px">As the article tells it, at the O.H. Hinsdale lab, Fritz "had used the pool to study how landslides create tsunamis. That work made him well known around campus as the guy who dumped
3,000 pounds of gravel into the pool. Undergrad laborers armed with shovels and brooms were tasked with wading into the water to clean up the debris, over and over again."</p>

Program — a new small grant initiative that will enable innovative natural hazards mitigation research.</p>
<p style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; margin-top: 10px">The program prioritizes new research proposals that address the social, behavioral, and economic aspects of mitigation or entail interdisciplinary approaches on the intersection between
humans, hazards risk, and the built environment. Research on how to translate existing evidence on persuasive communication, decision-making, and risk aversion into a hazards mitigation framework is also encouraged.</p>
<p style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; margin-top: 10px">Proposals for the Mitigation Matters Research Program will be solicited twice each year. The first call for fall submissions is now closed, but the next round of proposals will be
solicited early in 2020. Time to prepare your proposal!</p>

<p style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; margin-top: 10px"></p>
<p style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; margin-top: 10px">The National Science Foundation would like to upscale their investment in cyberinfrastructure (CI), but to do that the existing CI at Large Facilities (LFs) need to find ways to work
together more closely. To that end, NSF held a workshop on<span> </span><a href="https://facilitiesci.github.io/" target="_blank">Connecting Large Facilities and Cyberinfrastructure</a><span> </span>September 16 and 17, 2019, in Alexandria, Virginia.</p>
<p style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; margin-top: 10px">A majority of the NHERI facilities were represented. Attendees listened to talks on "Building LF CI Communities," a pilot "Cyberinfrastructure Center of Excellence," panels on "The
State and Future of CI," "Shared CI Services Opportunities and Challenges" and "Workforce Development and Retention." Attendees also participated in several breakout sessions to pull ideas and concerns from all LF and CI participants.</p>
<p style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; margin-top: 10px">The formation of a<span> </span><a href="https://www.nsf.gov/awardsearch/showAward?AWD_ID=1842042" target="_blank">CI Center of Excellence</a><span> </span>(COE) and the services it
may be able to offer Large Facilities in the future was welcome news to NHERI participants. Certainly, NHERI's DesignSafe-CI offers a tremendous service to NHERI experimental facilities and users. But there is still a need for dedicated CI staff at each site.
The COE could offer guidelines and best practices, regulatory/security guidance, and consulting/staffing resources that could enable a more efficient, state-of-the-art CI at each of the EFs for lower cost to the EF by leveraging COE resources.</p>
<p style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; margin-top: 10px">As we know, having well-trained CI staff is critical to the mission of each LF.<span> </span><a href="https://www.ce.washington.edu/facultyfinder/joseph-wartman" target="_blank">Joseph
Wartman</a>, PI of the<span> </span><a href="https://rapid.designsafe-ci.org/" target="_blank">NHERI RAPID</a>, was interested to learn that many LFs share similar IT-related issues, such as retaining personnel in hot job markets. "It was good to hear how
other LFs address these concerns," he said.</p>
<p style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; margin-top: 10px"><a href="https://simlab.essie.ufl.edu/DrBridge.html" target="_blank">Jennifer Bridge</a>, NHERI researcher from the University of Florida, was interested to learn about the potential
help a COE can provide. She also appreciated discussions about where facility CI and user CI begin and end, and about ownership and responsibility for EF-generated data. "Overall, it was a good and useful experience," she said.</p>
<p style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; margin-top: 10px">NHERI attendees also benefited from the opportunity to meet and interact face-to-face. Conversations outside of the workshop sessions are another useful way to learn how other EFs
tackle similar problems. We look forward to further collaborations in the CI field.</p>
