The national earthquake hazards reduction program provides funding to support the establishment of earthquake hazards reduction programming and implementation of earthquake safety, mitigation and resilience activities at the local level.

In 1990, the national earthquake hazards reduction program reauthorization act (p.l. 101 614) directed the usgs to study faults and earthquakes to determine earthquake frequency, provide a seismic hazards assessment, and conduct research and development for earthquake resistant structures. The program develops strategies, tools, techniques and other measures that can reduce the adverse effects of earthquakes and facilitates and promotes implementation of these measures, thereby strengthening earthquake resilience among at risk communities. Earthquake hazard map showing peak ground accelerations having a 2 percent probability of being exceeded in 50 years, for a firm rock site. the map is based on the usgs models for the conterminous u.s. (2023), hawaii (2021), and alaska (2023).

The national earthquake hazards reduction program (nehrp) leads the federal government’s efforts to reduce the fatalities, injuries and property losses caused by earthquakes. The federal agencies that comprise the national earthquake hazards reduction program (nehrp) conduct research, assessments, and analysis to identify earthquake hazards and help reduce earthquake risks. Find recent or historic earthquakes, lists, information on selected significant earthquakes, earthquake resources by state, or find webservices. the 1989 loma prieta earthquake ended decades of tranquility in the san francisco bay region. Earthquake risk reduction efforts within the united states are primarily directed through the national earthquake hazards reduction program (nehrp; https://nehrp.gov/) established by the u.s. congress in its inception through the earthquake hazards reduction act of 1977 (42 u.s.c. 7704).
