Southern California Earthquake Center (SCEC)

The Southern California Earthquake Center (SCEC) is a research organization dedicated to understanding earthquakes in Southern California. It brings together scientists and engineers to study how earthquakes occur, how they affect the environment and communities, and how to improve earthquake prediction and preparedness. By analyzing geological data, seismic activity, and fault behavior, SCEC aims to reduce risks and improve safety for residents and infrastructure in earthquake-prone areas. Their work helps inform public policies, building codes, and community awareness, contributing to a safer and more resilient region.
