Hurricane Helene: NSF-Funded Natural Hazards Experts Ready for Comment
Experts from the NSF-supported Natural Hazards Engineering Research Infrastructure (NHERI) are available to discuss issues related to Hurricane Helene. NHERI researchers are authorities in infrastructure damage from wind and storm surge, damage mitigation efforts, post-event data collection, and societal impacts in hurricane-prone regions.
NHERI Science Plan: A Guide for Future Research in Natural Hazards Engineering — In the NHERI Science Plan, Third Edition, find ways researchers can leverage NSF-funded resources — from centrifuges to cyberinfrastructure —to protect our civil infrastructure and our communities. Lead author Ian Robertson provides a 7-minute overview on the DesignSafe Radio podcast.
