The LFE Hospitals Reconnaissance Team visited hospitals (including both seismically isolated and fixed-base structures) in the affected region of southern Turkey in March, collecting data on both structural and nonstructural performance. The team documented the operational status for 36 hospitals six weeks after the mainshocks, looking particularly at factors that impacted functional recovery. In this webinar, Bret Lizundia S.E., Executive Principal and Rutherford + Chekene, will present findings and preliminary recommendations on behalf of the hospitals team, with other team members available for Q&A.
