Project Scope
|
A National Research Council committee will develop a roadmap for earthquake hazard and risk reduction in the United States. The committee will frame the road map around the goals and objectives for achieving national earthquake resilience in public safety and economic security stated in the current, publically available strategic plan of the National Earthquake Hazard Reduction Program (NEHRP) submitted to Congress in 2008. This roadmap will be based on an analysis of what will be required to realize the strategic plan's major technical goals for earthquake resilience within 20 years. In particular, the committee will:
o Host a national workshop focused on assessing the basic and applied research, seismic monitoring, knowledge transfer, implementation, education, and outreach activities needed to achieve national earthquake resilience over a twenty year period.
o Estimate program costs, on an annual basis, that will be required to implement the roadmap.
o Describe the future sustained activities, such as earthquake monitoring (both for research and for warning), education, and public outreach, which should continue following the 20 year period.
The project is sponsored by the National Institute of Standards and Technology.
The approximate starting date for the project is 09/29/2008.
A Final Report will be issued at the end of the project in approximately 18 months.
