Planning
A number of changes to policy and regulations have occurred at local, regional, state, and federal levels. Development of planning and policy in the earthquake field are vital fields to ensure engineering and technological advances find the funding and support they need.
Regions that include hazard issues in their planning process can mitigate serious vulnerabilities and build resilience before an event.
