National Earthquake Hazards Reduction Program (NEHRP) 1
National Earthquake Hazards Reduction Program (NEHRP) 1 : NEHRP produces Maximum Considered Earthquake (MCE) Ground Motion Maps to show those ground motions that have a specified probability of being exceeded in 50 years. These ground motion values are a reference in construction design for earthquake resistance and can be used to assess relative hazard between sites, when making economic and safety decisions. NEHRP provides recommendations for Seismic Regulations for New Buildings and for Seismic Rehabilitation of Buildings. NEHRP involves four federal agencies in collaboration: Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), National Science Foundation (NSF), and United States Geological Survey (USGS)
