VISION STATEMENTVISION STATEMENT

The overall goal is to enhance the seismic resiliency of communities through improved engineering and management tools for critical infrastructure systems (water supply, electric power, and hospitals) and emergency management functions. Seismic resilience (technical, organizational, social, and economic) is characterized by reduced probability of system failure, reduced consequences due to failure, and reduced time to system restoration.

Nationwide upgrading of existing inventory is not fiscally prudent.

However, protecting critical and essential facilities together with efficient response and recovery is a socio-economically viable national strategy for earthquake loss reduction.
