Examining Extreme Events: Hurricane Katrina's Impact
There will be a report of preliminary findings on the impact of Hurricane Katrina presented at the University of Buffalo on Wednesday, November 2, beginning at 7:00 p.m. The program is entitled, “Examining Extreme Events: Hurricane Katrina's Impact on Critical Infrastructure, Societal Systems, Public Health and Environment”
The program is a webcast by the University at Buffalo’s Multidisciplinary Center for Earthquake Engineering Research (MCEER). It will focus on preliminary findings from UB faculty investigations sponsored by MCEER, following Hurricane Katrina. The center’s intent in conducting these investigations and seminar are to leverage its many years of earthquake hazards and engineering expertise to advance “homeland resilience” strategies for multiple hazards and extreme events.
The seminar takes place on Wednesday, November 2, beginning at 7:00 p.m ., in the Center for the Arts Screening Room. It is offered free of charge, as a public service of MCEER and the University at Buffalo, under funding from the National Science Foundation. Registration information is provided below. Please feel free to forward this message on to interested colleagues.
