The Earthquake Engineering Research Institute is a national, nonprofit, multi-disciplinary technical society of experts dedicated to reducing earthquake risk by (1) advancing the science and practice of earthquake engineering, (2) improving understanding of the impact of earthquakes on the physical, social, economic, political, and cultural environment, and (3) advocating comprehensive and realistic measures for reducing the harmful effects of earthquakes. EERI members include engineers, geoscientists, architects, planners, public officials, and social scientists, who are researchers, practicing professionals, educators, government officials, and building code regulators.
