Lifeline earthquake engineering in a multihazard environment

Over the years, major natural hazards (earthquakes, floods, extreme winds, tsunami) and man-made hazards have caused significant regional disruptions that have often had national and even international impacts.
The conference will include sessions that focus on:
- Differences and commonalities of technologies used to engineer lifelines to resist earthquakes vs. other natural and man-made hazards;
- How engineering and risk-reduction technologies for each of these hazard types might benefit from exposure to technologies developed for other hazard types.
