Advanced knowledge of seismic hazards and their effects will diminish impacts of future earthquakes. The mission of the Center is focused towards this vision by targeting new loss-reduction measures through a unified approach known as Consequence-Based Engineering. The systems-level approach to earthquake research inherent in the MAE Center programs builds on development of new technologies and fundamental knowledge to strive towards this vision.
The Sendai Framework Voluntary Commitments (SFVC) online platform allows stakeholders to inform the public about their work on DRR. The SFVC online platform is a useful toolto know who is doing what and where for the implementation of the Sendai Framework, which could foster potential collaboration among stakeholders.
