- Synopsis
- The National Institute of Standards and Technology asked the Council to conduct a study building on its 2008 Strategic Plan for the National Earthquake Hazards Reduction Program, established by Congress in 1977. A committee was established with representatives of all relevant disciplines, and this is its report. Among the matters it deals with are earthquake risk and hazard, measuring disaster resilience, advanced national seismic systems, techniques for evaluating and retrofitting existing buildings, and costing the road map elements.
