RAPID equipment available for Hurricane Dorian response

[announce at designsafe-ci.org]

Dear Colleagues,



In light of Hurricane Dorian, the NHERI RAPID Facility would like to remind
the coastal and wind communities that its tools are available as community
resources. The RAPID facility enables the natural hazards and disaster
research communities to conduct next-generation rapid response
investigations to characterize the hazard, civil infrastructure performance
and community response; evaluate the effectiveness of design methodologies;
calibrate simulation models; and develop solutions for resilient
communities.



Equipment offered by the RAPID includes equipment for multi-hazard broad
use (e.g., computing, laser scanning, surveying, unmanned aerial systems,
digital imaging, data visualization, and backpacks with natural hazards
reconnaissance essentials), site characterization, ground investigation,
coastal monitoring and investigation, and social science data collection.



More information on the NHERI RAPID Facility can be found at:
