7th International Conference on Lifeline Earthquake Engineering

7th International Conference on Lifeline Earthquake Engineering
Presented by the Technical Council on Lifeline Earthquake Engineering of the American Society of Civil Engineers

Lifeline Earthquake Engineering in a Multihazard Environment
June 28-July 1, 2009 - Oakland Marriott City Center - Oakland, California

Don’t miss this important conference that will address the evaluation and management of risks to lifelines from earthquakes and other natural and man-made hazard events, including how these events affect post-event resilience and sustainability of lifeline facilities and systems! Don’t miss the nearly 150 presentations on these topics in various plenary, breakout, and poster sessions!

Register by May 28 and save $100! Available space for participation in pre-conference workshops and post-conference field trips is limited, so register early to ensure your place!
