Description

The Gladys Valley Marine Studies Building at the Hatfield Marine Science Center in Newport is engineered to survive a magnitude 9.0+ earthquake and resulting tsunami. Its rooftop is designed to be an emergency assembly site for more than 900 people. Can this design be scaled down and adapted to the requirements of Texas Hill Country to provide a model evacuation design? Should such a design be used by camps rebuilding after the catastrophic flooding that took place earlier this month?
