Southern California Earthquake Center

The Southern California Earthquake Center (SCEC) is a research organization focused on understanding earthquakes and their impacts in Southern California. Established in 1991, SCEC collaborates with scientists, engineers, and emergency managers to study seismic activity, develop models to predict earthquakes, and improve safety measures. The center conducts research, provides educational resources, and shares valuable data to help communities better prepare for and respond to earthquakes, ultimately aiming to reduce damage and save lives in this seismically active region.
