TCLEE 2009 Conference: Lifeline Earthquake Engineering in a Multihazard Environment
June 28—July 1, 2009 | Oakland, California
The ASCE Technical Council for Lifeline Earthquake Engineering conference will be the seventh in a series focused on the performance of lifelines during earthquakes. This year’s event will broaden its scope to include other major natural (floods, extreme winds, and tsunami) and man-made hazards.
TCLEE 2009 will feature over 200 technical papers, along with workshops, and field trips focused on lifeline performance requirements, design, retrofit, analysis, and planning of lifelines subjected to earthquakes, other natural hazards, and man-made hazards. The conference will also include sessions on lifelines interdependencies, sustainable lifelines, lifeline risk-reduction project management, multinational financial perspectives, lifeline performance during Hurricane Katrina and the recent Wenchuan, China earthquake, lifelines risk reduction research at MCEER, and lifeline elements of the NEHRP Reauthorization Program.

The Seventh International Workshop on Remote Sensing for Disaster Management
October 22-23, 2009 | Austin, Texas
The Seventh International Workshop on Remote Sensing for Disaster Management, to be held at the University of Texas in Austin, is the latest in a series that brings together remote sensing analysts, disaster researchers, and emergency managers to exchange ideas and research results related to the use of remote sensing in disaster management.
This year’s workshop will focus on Remote Sensing for the Disaster Cycle: Preparedness, Response, and Recovery. The organizers encourage contributions that span all three of these components related to disaster management, and will be soliciting short papers from all participants. Group discussions during the workshop to develop strategies to further encourage the use of remote sensing in disaster management are planned.
ATC & SEI Conference on Improving the Seismic Performance of Existing Buildings and Other Structures
December 9-11, 2009 | San Francisco, California
This inaugural conference, organized by the Applied Technology Council and the Structural Engineering Institute of the American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE), is dedicated to improving the seismic performance of existing buildings and other structures. The program will focus on new information on the seismic evaluation and seismic rehabilitation of existing buildings, including case studies, new discoveries, innovative use of new technologies and materials, implementation issues, needed improvements to existing standards and methods, and socio-economic issues. The goal is to provide an opportunity to advance understanding of the tools, techniques and innovations available to assist in meeting the challenges of seismic evaluation and rehabilitation.
