M9 FINAL STAKEHOLDERS WORKSHOP

Tuesday, March 12, 2019

8:00 AM-5:30 PM

Husky Union Building (HUB), Lyceum, Room 160
University of Washington, Seattle

M9 is a National Science Foundation funded Hazard SEES project at the University of Washington. The project aims to reduce the catastrophic potential of Cascadia megathrust earthquakes for the social, built, and natural environments, through research advances in methodologies, warnings, design, and community planning.

This Final Project Workshop seeks to bolster existing collaborations and discussions with peer researchers, end-users, and stakeholders. Specific aims for this workshop include:

  • Present final research findings,
  • discussing and planning for the implementation of our research findings at the city and state levels,
  • and emphasizing the importance of continued research and collaboration.
