including: (1) simulation methods to characterize the natural hazards; (2)
response simulation of structural and geotechnical systems and localized wind
and water flows; (3) quantifying the resulting damage and its effects on the
performance of buildings, transportation systems, and utility infrastructure
systems; (4) strategies and emerging tools to model recovery from natural
disasters; and (5) the cross-cutting applications of uncertainty quantification
methods and artificial intelligence to natural hazards engineering.</span><span></span></p>
