The Role of Virtual Reconnaissance in StEER Missions

A StEER Training Event

Overview

This event on Friday, January 17, 2020 will introduce the role of Virtual Assessment Structural Teams (VASTs) in StEER responses to earthquakes, hurricanes, tornadoes and tsunamis, with hands on-training in our Data Enrichment and Quality Control Processes. VASTs offer an excellent opportunity to gain cross-hazard experience in reconnaissance efforts, contribute to official StEER publications, and build your capacity to conduct field reconnaissance with StEER in the future.

Preparations

All participants are asked to formally join StEER prior to the event. Approximately one week before the event, registrants will receive additional instructions/invitations to training sets in the Fulcrum mobile app used for door-to-door damage assessments.

The event will offer participants the opportunity to work with training data in real time; attendees are asked to bring a laptop.
