2008 National Earthquake Conference

Date: 02/13/2008

Dear SCEC Community,

It's not too late to register for the 2008 National Earthquake Conference, April 22-26, 2008, in Seattle. March 2 is the pre-registration deadline.

The theme of the conference is "Understanding Earthquakes: From Research to Resilience." Organized by members of Western States Seismic Policy Council (WSSPC), Northeast States Emergency Consortium (NESEC), Central United States Earthquake Consortium (CUSEC),Cascadia Region Earthquake Workgroup (CREW), Emergency Preparedness for Industry and Commerce Council (EPICC), and Earthquake Engineering Research Institute (EERI) with support from FEMA, USGS, NIST, and NSF.

The goals of the conference are to provide attendees with a better understanding of the scientific, engineering, and social research that underlies our ability to assess, mitigate, and respond to earthquakes across the U.S., and to exchange ideas about tools for earthquake hazard and risk reduction, successful programs, lessons from past earthquakes, and ways to build resiliency.
