The EERI Northern California Regional chapter hosted a virtual discussion panel to dive into how various earthquake emergency preparedness professionals have started to rethink how their community would respond to an earthquake event during the current pandemic. Panelists provided a short overview of how their thinking about their job has changed since the pandemic began and then answered attendee questions.

This Learning from Earthquakes webinar provided an overview of the impacts from the M5.7 March 18, 2020 Magna, Utah earthquake. In this multidisciplinary webinar, attendees gained insights covering science, engineering, and response aspects of the earthquake. Attendees also learned how the earthquake affected the natural and built environment, as well as about current mitigation efforts in Utah.

Presented by the EERI Younger Members Committee, this webinar presented recent studies that utilize physics-based simulations to identify the important characteristics of earthquake ground motions and expected structural response. Physics-based simulations of earthquake ground motions have steadily emerged as an alternative for seismic risk assessment of civil structures, particularly for regions expected to experience large-magnitude and rare earthquakes, for which few observational data is available.

This webinar explored moving from performance-based engineering to multi-disciplinary community resilience, in which engineering merges with social, economic, and information science. The webinar used 15 years of whole building shake table tests of resilient and non-resilient wood-frame apartment buildings to enter this discussion from an earthquake engineering perspective.
