TECHNICAL PROGRAM & AGENCY PRESENTATIONS:
DISASTERS AND DISASTER MITIGATION
Disasters can be caused by nature (earthquake, hurricane, tsunami), by accident (BP oil spill) or by people on purpose (terrorism). Our responsibility, as engineers, is to apply what is learned from these events to mitigate future damage and injury. This past January, Steven Baldridge joined a team of engineers from the Earthquake Engineering Research Institute to assess the damage in Haiti caused by a 7.0 earthquake. Seven weeks later, Chile was hit by an 8.8 earthquake and subsequent tsunami. Ian Robertson and Gary Chock were on site to observe the aftermath. Steve, Ian and Gary will share their experiences and assessment of the infrastructure damages.
Additionally, we'll get a perspective from our government agencies on the social implications of disaster mitigation and the expectations of designing for disaster mitigation in public works infrastructure as well as other related innovative topics.

EXHIBITS
In conjunction with the technical program there will be an exhibit area in the adjoining room displaying the latest innovations and technology in structural materials and manufactured products. Participants will be able to interact with industry representatives and gather technical information on various structural related products and services. It is an opportunity to find out what’s new and how it can best work on your project.
COMPANION ACTIVITIES
