Structural Extreme Events Reconnaissance (StEER) Network
Mission
StEER builds societal resilience by generating new knowledge on the performance of the built environment through impactful post-disaster reconnaissance disseminated to affected communities.
StEER's mission is to deepen the structural natural hazards engineering (NHE) community's capacity for reliable post-event reconnaissance through:
- Capacity: promoting community-driven standards, best practices, and training for field reconnaissance;
- Coordination: coordinating early, efficient and impactful event responses;
- Collaboration: broadly engaging communities of research, practice and policy to accelerate learning from disasters.
Voluntary Commitments
The Sendai Framework Voluntary Commitments (SFVC) online platform allows stakeholders to inform the public about their work on DRR. The SFVC online platform is a useful toolto know who is doing what and where for the implementation of the Sendai Framework, which could foster potential collaboration among stakeholders. All stakeholders (private sector, civil society organizations, academia, media, local governments, etc.) working on DRR can submit their commitments and report on their progress and deliverables.
