Dr. Emad Hassan, assistant professor of civil, architectural and environmental engineering at Missouri S&T, will present 3:30 p.m. Monday, Nov. 11, in Room 125 of Butler-Carlton Civil Engineering Building and via Zoom. He will discuss, “a newly developed health care system resilience framework and its utility in understanding health care functionality under seismic events. The framework is centered around integrating physical system behavior with social and human dimensions in a network setting to quantify damage, recovery, and resilience of interconnected health care facilities. The discussion extends to introducing and evaluating various mitigation strategies, along with estimating optimal resource allocations to enhance hospital functionality subjected to major seismic events.”

Light snacks will be served.
