NEHRP Provisions for the Development of Seismic Risk Mitigation Standards

The NEHRP Provisions for the Development of Seismic Risk Mitigation Standards are guidelines created to help improve the safety of buildings and infrastructure against earthquakes. Developed by experts, these standards specify how structures should be designed, constructed, and maintained to withstand seismic forces. The goal is to reduce damage, protect lives, and ensure quick recovery after an earthquake. The provisions are regularly updated based on the latest scientific research, engineering practices, and lessons learned from past events, aiming to make communities more resilient and safe in seismically active areas.
