EERI's Learning From Earthquakes (LFE) Program invites you to a FREE webinar series this month with the three LFE reconnaissance teams that traveled to Turkey in March to assess the impacts of the February 6, 2023 Kahramanmaraş Earthquake Sequence.
LFE Kahramanmaraş Earthquakes Lifelines Reconnaissance Webinar
Tuesday, May 9, 2023
10:00 AM-12:00 PM Pacific Time
REGISTER HERE
In this webinar, members of the lifelines reconnaissance team will share their findings on the structural and nonstructural performance of the infrastructures that facilitate the functioning of society. Lifelines include bridges, roads, tunnels, railroads, metro and tram stations, airports, ports, dams, electrical transmission lines, substations, gas transmission lines, water pipes, chemical plants, and power plants. The team gathered data on more than 150 sites throughout the affected region, looking at performance and functionality, the types of failures that caused disruptions, damage patterns, and properties of lifelines that ensured good performance during the earthquakes.
