The Earthquake Engineering Research Institute (EERI) is a 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, emergency managers, public officials, and social scientists, who are researchers, practicing professionals, educators, and government officials. Our 3,000 members are organized into volunteer committees, projects, and both regional and student chapters that conduct activities to achieve our mission. The Institute was established in 1948.
