2015 Nepal earthquake: seismic performance and reconstruction of stone masonry buildings

This blog, from Yasemin D. Aktas (EEFIT Management Committee Chair), discusses the importance of publishing mission journals which can provide a real-time account of the post-disaster recovery process.

This lecture showcased how the annual grants supported two short-term projects that benefit earthquake disaster mitigation and post disaster reconnaissance efforts.
