Welcome, everyone, to the
Earthquake Science Center

00:00:04.470 --> 00:00:06.270
Seminar Series
for April 28th.

00:00:06.270 --> 00:00:09.930
[audio cuts out] seminar is a little
bit different than it normally is.

00:00:09.930 --> 00:00:13.920
We have a selection of speakers that
will be talking to us about experiences

00:00:13.920 --> 00:00:18.190
that they had during the 2020
Puerto Rico earthquake sequence

00:00:18.190 --> 00:00:22.530
and communicating seismic hazard
with the public and building connections

00:00:22.530 --> 00:00:25.740
that way. And so we’re looking forward
to a lot of discussion with them and

00:00:25.740 --> 00:00:28.980
amongst all of us about how we can
improve our communication with

00:00:28.980 --> 00:00:32.910
the public about seismic hazard.
And this was inspired by an idea

00:00:32.910 --> 00:00:36.690
from Andy Michael based on
a session at GSA.

00:00:36.690 --> 00:00:38.789
And so we think this will be a really
good opportunity to just learn from

00:00:38.789 --> 00:00:43.120
one another and improve our ability
to communicate and learn how

00:00:43.120 --> 00:00:46.089
we can do that better.
So I’ll hand it over now to

00:00:46.089 --> 00:00:50.929
Sara McBride, who will be introducing
our speakers as they come up.

00:00:50.929 --> 00:00:53.429
Sara is a Mendenhall fellow at the
Earthquake Science Center and works

00:00:53.429 --> 00:00:56.829
as a research social scientist and
ShakeAlert social science research

00:00:56.829 --> 00:00:59.780
coordinator at the
Earthquake Science Center.

00:00:59.780 --> 00:01:04.190
And so I think it’s great to have
her here to participate in this panel

00:01:04.190 --> 00:01:08.049
and moderate it to share
her experiences in communicating

00:01:08.049 --> 00:01:10.429
with the public as well.
All right, so thank you, Sara.
