National earthquake resilience - research, implementation, and outreach
This report assesses the activities and costs that would be required for the nation to achieve earthquake resilience in 20 years. The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), the lead NEHRP agency, commissioned the National Research Council (NRC) to develop a roadmap for earthquake hazard and risk reduction in the United States that would be based on the goals and objectives for achieving national earthquake resilience described in the 2008 NEHRP Strategic Plan. The roadmap is outlined in this document.
