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

  • Present initial findings and updates from M9 Project research initiatives,
  • solicit feedback on M9 research and educational efforts to date, and
  • review and discuss the status of earthquake-related policies at the city and state levels.
