Rapid Equipment Facility training week in Duck, NC

The National Science Foundation’s Natural Hazards Reconnaissance Facility, known as RAPID, (http://rapid.designsafe-ci.org/) provides investigators with the equipment, software, and support services needed to collect, process, and analyze perishable data from natural hazard events.

On October 7 – 11, RAPID is hosting a hands-on training and deployment opportunity at the U.S. Army’s Field Research Facility (FRF) in Duck, NC and at the more southerly experiment area on Pea Island NC. RAPID’s equipment portfolio and RAPID staff will be available free of charge for deployment and data collection by research teams during this period, providing participants with the opportunity to develop expertise in using RAPID equipment to collect, process, and integrate the collected data using the RAPID mobile software application.
