<p class="MsoNormal"><b>The NHERI Facebook challenge<o:p></o:p></b></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">To all NHERI researchers, staff and students:<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Spreading the word about NHERI is a <b>key requirement</b> for
<a href="https://www.nsf.gov/dir/index.jsp?org=ENG">NSF</a>.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">One big and simple way to spread the word about our community is on FACEBOOK, which, according to
<a href="https://techcrunch.com/2017/04/12/messenger/">TechCrunch</a>, has <b>1.2 BILLION monthly users</b>.
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">As of June 2017, the NHERI Facebook page has fewer than 200 followers. (Yes, it’s more than sad!) We need everyone’s help to raise this number — and raise awareness!<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">If you’re a hazard engineer and you’re on Facebook, head to the NHERI Facebook page,
<a href="https://www.facebook.com/NaturalHazardsEngineeringResearchInfrastructure/">
right here</a>, and click FOLLOW and LIKE. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">It takes less than 30 seconds, so why wait? <a href="https://www.facebook.com/NaturalHazardsEngineeringResearchInfrastructure/">
Just do it now</a>.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Active FB users are welcome to post on the page. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Thanks, everyone!<o:p></o:p></p>
