About this event
The national EEW rollout is complete by 2024. Where does that leave us in BC? What thresholds will activate public alerting? How does the EEW system connect to building-level instrumentation across the province and what does that mean for our rapid damage assessment programs? Hear from a variety of practitioners working in this space and contribute to the conversation.
This session will be hosted as a satellite session to the UR 2022 Global Forum in Brazil and we will also host a watch party for the Global Forum in conjunction.
