The Natural Hazards Center is now accepting proposals for the Health and Extreme Weather Research Award Program. Awards range from $10,000 to $50,000 to support perishable, health relevant data collection within six months of an extreme weather event.

The RAPID Facility has completed its first comprehensive field deployment to the Spokane area, conducting data collection beginning August 24 in and around the Old Trails burn area. This update provides an early look at what was collected, how it can be accessed, and important considerations to keep in mind as the community begins to make use of it. This update is intended for both members of the research community and members of the public who have been following the RAPID Facility's work in Spokane.

RAPID has released a new data brief on high resolution aerial imagery and 3D models collected after the 2025 Los Angeles fires. The brief describes key data products, what makes the dataset unique, and how to access it through NHERI DesignSafe. It is intended for researchers, practitioners, educators, and community users.
