National Earthquake Hazards Reduction Program (NEHRP)

The National Earthquake Hazards Reduction Program (NEHRP) is a U.S. federal initiative dedicated to reducing the risks and impacts of earthquakes. It aims to improve our understanding of earthquakes, develop better building codes and construction practices, and promote public education and preparedness. By supporting research, technologies, and policies, NEHRP helps communities and infrastructure become more resilient to seismic events, ultimately saving lives, minimizing property damage, and enhancing safety during earthquakes.
