The National Institute of
Standards and Technology (NIST) is pleased to
announce its third annual Disaster Resilience
Symposium to be held on July 28-29, 2020. NIST is closely monitoring
guidance from Federal, State, and local health authorities on the outbreak of
COVID-19. To protect the health and safety of NIST employees and the American
public they continue to serve, NIST has decided to make the 2020 NIST
Disaster Resilience Symposium virtual-only.
The symposium will
feature a keynote presentation by Erik Rasmussen, Senior Research
Scientist at CIMMS NSSL and the University of Oklahoma, on how
we can enhance the resilience of US communities. The symposium will also
feature presentations from 23 grant awardees funded by
NIST on topics related to disaster and failure studies,
earthquake engineering, wind engineering, community resilience, and
wildland-urban interface fires:
