Please join the Global Earthquake Model (GEM) Foundation, the Geological 
Survey of Canada, and the University of Western Ontario for an 
*OpenQuake Training Workshop and Webinar* 
<https://sites.google.com/view/oq-canada/home> on November 6-7, 2019.

Insights gained through quantitative earthquake risk modeling are 
foundational to seismic design and disaster risk reduction planning at 
all levels of decision making. OpenQuake is a collaborative, 
open-source, python-based earthquake hazard and risk modeling platform 
developed by GEM <https://www.globalquakemodel.org/>. Canada 
<http://www.earthquakescanada.nrcan.gc.ca/index-en.php> has been a 
public sector partner since 2017, working with researchers and 
practitioners from across the public, academic, and private sectors to 
advance capabilities for catastrophic risk modeling and to co-develop a 
National Earthquake Risk Profile for launch in Spring 2020.

This two day training will cover the theory behind the use of the 
OpenQuake engine for seismic hazard and risk analyses, as well as 
practical examples from Eastern Canada. The training will empower users 
from broad backgrounds to conduct analyses in their own regions, for 
seismic and volcanic perils, both for baseline conditions and for 
different risk mitigation strategies.

We invite all those interested to join us either online or in person in 
London, Ontario. A recording of an abridged version of the webinar will 
be available for participants following this session. Please register as 
a virtual or in-person attendee 
<https://www.eventbrite.com/e/74363518285/>, or reach out by email for 
any questions.

Kind regards,
