Last night I had the pleasure to present a mini seminar to the SEAW dinner meeting attendees. The talk was on Disaster Resilience and focused on it from the mindset of a structural engineer. It was broad based and really tried to convey what disaster resilience is and how structural engineers can contribute to making disaster resilient communities.
I got a good feeling from talking with several audience members after the talk. It seems that the content was well taken and fed into the main talk about the Seattle URM ordinance very well. I was pleased to find that Council Member Richard Conlin mentioned that part of the impetus behind the URM ordinance was to help Seattle be more resilient. He even did this without seeing my mini seminar presentation!
For those of you wanted to be able to see the slides again I have linked to a pdf of them.
