Welcome to the virtual booth for NSF-funded NHERI, the NATURAL HAZARDS ENGINEERING RESEARCH INFRASTRUCTURE

https://www.designsafe-ci.org

 

We are a 12-node research network composed of:

  • Experimental facilities
  • Computational and data management facilities
  • Simulation and modeling resources
  • Reconnaissance and social science resources

Our collective mission: Mitigate natural and infrastructure damage from
natural hazards — including hurricanes, storm surge tsunamis, earthquakes and landslides.

Community Resources

NHERI provides more than just time in experimental facilities.  The program creates many resources for the natural hazards research community, including these highlights:

NHERI Facilities Attending the Fall Meeting

Attending in person?  Visit our booth (#545) on the exhibit floor to hear all about NHERI from Facility Schedulling and Operations Coordinator, Dan Zehner, and speak to representatives from the NHERI RAPID and OH Hinsdale Wave Research Laboratory facilities:

Meet the NHERI RAPID Facility

Joseph Wartman, director of the NHERI RAPID program based at the University of Washington, will be available to discuss how RAPID helps the NHERI community perform reconnaissance and collect valuable data in the field.
