The NHERI DesignSafe Data Depot contains publicly available datasets on wildfire. Download data on community preparedness, housing recovery and field reconnaissance from events such as the 2021 Marshall fire in Colorado, the 2019 Camp fire in Paradise, California, and others. Curated datasets enable researchers to discover ways to protect our communities, our infrastructure, and the natural environment.
NHERI RAPID Facility Supports Wildfire Reconnaissance Deployments
As communities face the challenging circumstances of the Los Angeles wildfires, the NSF-funded NHERI RAPID Facility is ready to support researchers conducting post-disaster reconnaissance investigations.
NHERI Science Plan: A Guide for Future Research in Natural Hazards Engineering — In the NHERI Science Plan, Third Edition, find ways researchers can leverage NSF-funded resources — from centrifuges to cyberinfrastructure —to protect our civil infrastructure and our communities. Lead author Ian Robertson provides a 7-minute overview on the DesignSafe Radio podcast.

The Natural Hazards Engineering Research Infrastructure (NHERI) is a distributed national facility that enables research discoveries that will protect human life, reduce damage, and minimize economic losses during natural hazard events.
5 Year Science Plan
A roadmap for researchers in related disciplines working together to achieve common goals.
The Workspace gives researchers the power to share and publish data, access tools for data analysis and visualization, and run simulations on state-of-the-art supercomputer resources.
The NHERI Facilities offer access to shared-use experimental laboratories, field equipment, simulation tools, and a network of social science, engineering, and interdisciplinary researchers.
The Learning Center offers training webinars from all NHERI components, as well as resources for students, post-docs, and early career researchers.
