Thank you, Ellen for the quick feedback. I believe this is precisely
the plan and<br>
Heidi may help us do so. <br>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:12.0pt">Good
afternoon,<br>
<br>
Today, there was a conference call to discuss opportunities
with the organizers, Earthquake Engineering<br>
Research Institute (EERI) of The Eleventh U.S. National
Conference on Earthquake Engineering (11NCEE) which<br>
will convene <b>June 25 through 29, 2018</b>, in Los Angeles.
Present from NHERI were Steve Mahin (SimCenter), Jamie<br>
Padgett (DesignSafe-CI) and JoAnn Browning (NCO Education
Leader). As an action item from the call, we were
<br>
asked to place before the NHERI Council the following two
items:<br>
<br>
<b>1. Organization of a NHERI Workshop at the event. <br>
<br>
</b>The objective would be to disseminate information about
NHERI among the participants at this conference
<br>
in particular about the new facilities, i.e. SimCenter,
DesignSafe-CI, the RAPID, the Wall of Wind at FIU,
<br>
the multi-component facility at the University of Florida, and
educational efforts.<br>
<br>
As further background information, NHERI ECO organized a
session to make sure we have presence at
<br>
11NCEE, just as with the wind conference last spring. It is
important to keep a consistent/even presence
<br>
at these events. In regard to the NCO leading the workshop, we
are specially busy during the month of June.<br>
We are already hosting the summer institute and as you all
know, NHERI Facilities and the NCO are managing<br>
2 parallel REU programs during that month and the rest of the
summer. With that, our ability to lead<br>
one more activity is limited. <br>
<br>
However, there is little question that there is an opportunity
at this conference which takes place every four years.<br>
For instance, designsafe and the simcenter could put a
workshop on data and simulation using designsafe etc.
<br>
or a training workshop for users of the new facilities, RAPID
(if ready to do so by June 2018), University of<br>
Florida and FIU, and whoever else would like to participate.<br>
<br>
<b>2. Extend the currently approved session<br>
</b><br>
11NCEE volunteered to put additional NHERI abstracts submitted
before Oct. 1 together with those in
<br>
the current session and we could have Part 1 and Part 2. If
you submitted one individually (not as part
<br>
of a session and not identified as NHERI), please let us know.
11th NCEE organizers volunteered to help
<br>
round them up. This will help us have a bigger community
presence at 11NCEE…which is the purpose.
<br>
<br>
<u>Presently we have in hand 6<b>:</b></u><b><br>
<br>
</b>1. SimCenter- Steve Mahin<br>
2. The NHERI User Forum: Introduction and the Annual Community
Report<br>
Russell Green (chair of User Forum), Nina Stark (vice chair of
User Forum), Elaina J. Sutley (presenting author) (secretary
of User Forum), Erik Johnson, Ramtin Kargarmoakhar, Mohamed
Elsharawy, Adda Athanasopoulos-Zekkos, James O. Malley, Liesel
Ritchie<br>
3. The NHERI RAPID Facility: Enabling the Next-Generation of
Natural Hazards Reconnaissance-Joe Wartman, et al<br>
4. Using Cloud-Based Data Analysis to Engage Undergraduates in
Natural Hazards Engineering Jamie Padgett, et al<br>
5. Experimentally Validated Fragilities for Hurricane
Resilience of Transmission Systems- Abdollah Shafieezadeh, et
al<br>
6. Seismic Evaluation of Drywall Partition Walls Integrated
with a Timber Rocking Wall and Flexible Diaphragm System- Keri
Ryan, et al<br>
<br>
Apologies for the lengthy e-mail, and look forward to hearing
from you before Oct 1. Thanks!<br>
<br>
