Seismic Waves, February 2021
The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) coordinated with the National Earthquake Hazards Reduction Program (NEHRP) and the earthquake engineering community to publish the 2020 NEHRP Recommended Seismic Provisions for New Buildings and Other Structures (FEMA P-2082). NEHRP is composed of four federal agencies: FEMA, National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), National Science Foundation (NSF), and U.S. Geological Survey (USGS). This seismic code resource document marks a new milestone of NEHRP’s continued support to enhance seismic code and standard regulations.
