Description
The National Earthquake Hazards Reduction Program (NEHRP), administered by the Illinois Emergency Management Agency and Office of Homeland Security (IEMA-OHS), aims to reduce earthquake losses in the United States through research, outreach, and the development of seismic safety tools. The program emphasizes advancing scientific understanding of earthquakes, promoting the implementation of research findings into building codes and national standards, and supporting the creation and dissemination of seismic-resistant design guidance for both new and existing structures. NEHRP also works to enhance community resilience, support state and multi-state earthquake programs, and provide disaster support in alignment with national emergency response frameworks.
