Update on EERI Activities - Jay Berger
The document provides updates on various EERI activities, including the 2013 annual meeting, the Learning from Earthquakes program, the Concrete Coalition pilot programs, Earthquake Spectra journal, and the 10th National Conference on Earthquake Engineering. The Learning from Earthquakes program discussed recent and planned field investigations, funding sources, and a draft mission statement. The Concrete Coalition outlined pilot programs in San Francisco and Los Angeles to evaluate older concrete buildings. Earthquake Spectra discussed changes to the online platform and editorial board. The 10th National Conference will commemorate the 50th anniversary of the 1964 Alaska earthquake and tsunami.

- 7. LFE Draft MissionStatement The mission of the Learning from Earthquakes (LFE) Program is to accelerate and increase learning from earthquake-induced disasters that affect the natural, built, social and political environments worldwide. The mission is accomplished through field reconnaissance, data collection and archiving, and dissemination of lessons and opportunities for reducing earthquake losses and increasing community resilience.

- 9. LFE Funded Projects •World Bank (GFDRR) – Case studies on recovery and resilience framework – focus on developing countries. – Team to Guatemala – work with Guatemala Assoc for Earthquake Engineering on code development. • NSF - Seismic Observatory for Community Resilience – Vision: Gather and organize seismic resilience data, thereby enabling a major leap in advancing resilience thinking, simulation, and implementation. – Resilience panel • How to document resilience? • Need for longitudinal studies. • Opportunity – Collaboration with NZ Updates on EERI Activities

- 11. NEES2 opportunities… • Recompetittionfor the "second generation" of NEES, released February 5, includes development of a PERRR (Post-Earthquake Rapid Response Research) Facility – “The goal of the PERRR facility is to provide the leadership, infrastructure, data management, operations, and maintenance to deploy resources for post-earthquake investigations nationally and internationally.” – Address the need “to gather perishable data immediately following an earthquake event, share the data, and archive the data for longer-term research use.” Updates on EERI Activities
- 12. NEES2 opportunities… • TheEERI Board is encouraged by the strong emphasis on this important earthquake risk reduction activity. • Opportunity for EERI - LFE to contribute. • EERI’s considerable experience in post- earthquake reconnaissance and related IT infrastructure can be an asset to any entity proposing to establish the PERRR facility. Interested entities should contact Jay Berger, EERI Executive Director. Updates on EERI Activities
