Promoting Seismic Safety, Guidance for Advocates

摘要

This project represents a collaboration among social science and policy researchers at the three Earthquake Engineering Research Centers: Mid-America Earthquake Center (MAE) Multidisciplinary Center for Earthquake Engineering Research (MCEER) Pacific Earthquake Engineering Research Center (PEER) FEMA asked researchers at the three centers to distill the findings of previous social science and policy research in order to provide guidance to seismic safety advocates. Our hope is that the lessons of prior research will help advocates be more effective at promoting seismic safety actions. This publication consists of two parts: the guidance document for advocates, and background papers developed by the authors as part of the project.
