Risk is an abstract concept that, for most people, “happens to others.” Engaging residents of risk-prone areas in active measures to reduce risk is a continual process of collective learning that increases sporadically after an actual event only to decrease in entropy as the event fades in memory. Observed over decades, this pattern persists even as more funds are invested in risk reduction measures and scientists warn about increasing threat. This webinar will offer a look at how visual technologies have changed over the past thirty years since the Northridge Earthquake, making recognition of risk easier, faster, simpler. It will also discuss the design process of generating empathy in a community through music to build the shared social connections essential for collective action under threat. Both approaches offer new promise for creating vital, informed, active communities that are more resilient to seismic risk.

Episode 1 brought together experts from geophysics, geotechnical engineering, lifeline infrastructure systems, and structural engineering to provide an integrated view of the effects of the impactful Northridge Earthquake. While this dramatic event brought destruction to the heart of Los Angeles, it also improved understanding and engineering practice as we prepare for future earthquakes.
