Sumatra-Andaman Earthquake on its 20th Anniversary On
December 26, 2024, the 20th anniversary of the M9.2 earthquake occurred in
Aceh, Sumatra (Indonesia), caused significant damage to the Andaman and
Nicobar Islands. The earthquake and tsunami waves caused landscape changes,
killed around 10,000 people, and damaged modern infrastructure. The event
highlighted issues with earthquake-resistant design and tsunami hazard
preparedness, and emphasized the need for improved safety measures in
vulnerable communities. For more information please visit
https://nicee.org/Sumatra-Andaman_EQ/. 2. Workshop for Architectural Faculty
Members A
workshop for Architectural Faculty Members will be conducted at IIT Kanpur
from March 8 to 10, 2025. This workshop aims to enhance the capacity of
architecture design faculty members to effectively integrate the teaching of
earthquake-resistant strategies in design studios for undergraduate students.
For further information regarding the workshop, please visit
https://www.nicee.org/Faculty_Workshop/. For additional details or any
queries, please contact Suresh Ailawadi at Tele - 0512 259 7749 or Email: asuresh@iitk.ac.in. 3. Workshop for Under Graduate
