HOW CAN WE LEARN MORE?

How does an explosion or blast impact a building?

How does a group of buildings or community respond during an extreme event?

What mechanisms contribute to a building’s collapse?

HOW CAN WE LEARN MORE?

How does an explosion or blast impact a building?

How can we retrofit or redesign buildings to enhance public health and safety in the face 

of extreme events?

How does a group of buildings or community respond during an extreme event?

What mechanisms contribute to a building’s collapse?
