Pursuant to a congressional request, GAO: (1) evaluated efforts by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) to carry out the role assigned to it by statutory law; (2) described federal activities to assist state and local governments with earthquake response planning; and (3) discussed why a prediction system has not been developed. GAO found that FEMA, the lead agency for the National Earthquake Hazards Reduction Program, needs to do more to fulfill the requirements of the Earthquake Hazards Reduction Act of 1977. GAO believes that the newly formed FEMA Earthquake Policy Review Group can provide needed direction to federal agencies in the program by improving interagency planning, budgeting, and evaluation. Progress has been slow in developing earthquake response plans at the state and local levels and in the private sector, and future progress will depend upon adequate FEMA direction and upon the resources available to those preparing the actual plans. GAO also found that an operational earthquake prediction system, an objective of the act, has not been developed, because necessary technological advances have not occurred. Although current monitoring systems can produce warnings, but not predictions, of an impending earthquake, further basic research is needed before reliable short-term predictions are feasible.

The United States will certainly be subject to damaging earthquakes in the future. Some of these earthquakes will occur in highly populated and vulnerable areas. Coping with moderate earthquakes is not a reliable indicator of preparedness for a major earthquake in a populated area. The recent, disastrous, magnitude-9 earthquake that struck northern Japan demonstrates the threat that earthquakes pose. Moreover, the cascading nature of impacts-the earthquake causing a tsunami, cutting electrical power supplies, and stopping the pumps needed to cool nuclear reactors-demonstrates the potential complexity of an earthquake disaster. Such compound disasters can strike any earthquake-prone populated area. National Earthquake Resilience presents a roadmap for increasing our national resilience to earthquakes. The National Earthquake Hazards Reduction Program (NEHRP) is the multi-agency program mandated by Congress to undertake activities to reduce the effects of future earthquakes in the United States. The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST)-the lead NEHRP agency-commissioned the National Research Council (NRC) to develop a roadmap for earthquake hazard and risk reduction in the United States that would be based on the goals and objectives for achieving national earthquake resilience described in the 2008 NEHRP Strategic Plan. National Earthquake Resilience does this by assessing the activities and costs that would be required for the nation to achieve earthquake resilience in 20 years. National Earthquake Resilience interprets resilience broadly to incorporate engineering/science (physical), social/economic (behavioral), and institutional (governing) dimensions. Resilience encompasses both pre-disaster preparedness activities and post-disaster response. In combination, these will enhance the robustness of communities in all earthquake-vulnerable regions of our nation so that they can function adequately following damaging earthquakes. While National Earthquake Resilience is written primarily for the NEHRP, it also speaks to a broader audience of policy makers, earth scientists, and emergency managers.

The National Earthquake Hazards Reduction Program (NEHRP) Recommended Seismic Provisions for New Buildings and Other Structures is a well-known technical resource document for improving national seismic design standards and model building codes. Each edition of the NEHRP Provisions has been developed based on the most recent advancements in earthquake engineering and research. The 2020 NEHRP Provisions continues to apply the current state-of-knowledge in earthquake engineering for improving the seismic design of buildings and other structures. It presents a set of recommended improvements to the ASCE/SEI 7-16 Standard: Minimum Design Loads and Associated Criteria for Buildings and Other Structures, and nine resource papers on new concepts, suggested future development, and technical information in support of the recommended improvements. The NEHRP Provisions is developed and evaluated through an expert-based consensus process to ensure validity and quality of the recommended new changes. It is intended primarily for use by national standards and code organizations and earthquake engineering professionals. The NEHRP Provisions is intended to support strong seismic standards and codes to bolster earthquake resilience in the nation. It has been widely recognized that code conforming new buildings increase earthquake resilience for at-risk communities. When adopting and enforcing the most recent national standards and model building codes for improving earthquake resilience, local communities expect the standards and codes to be updated and equipped with the best available new earthquake knowledge and matured technologies. The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) shares a responsibility with other NEHRP agencies under the NEHRP Reauthorization Act (P.L. 115-307) "to use research results ... support model codes that are cost effective and affordable in order to promote better practices within the design and construction industry and reduce losses from earthquakes." Consistent with this objective, FEMA is proud to support the development of the tenth editi on of the NEHRP Provisions, which has broadly reviewed and translated many recent NEHRP and private sector research results into codifiable seismic design requirements and guidelines. FEMA is grateful to the large number of experts serving on the 2020 Provisions Update Committee, Issue Teams, Project 17 Committee and its Work Groups, the member organizations of Building Seismic Safety Council (BSSC) of National Institute of Building Sciences, the BSSC Board of Direction and project managers, and NEHRP agency representatives whose dedicated and persistent efforts make the 2020 NEHRP Provisions a great success. Americans unfortunate enough to experience the earthquakes that will inevitably occur in this country in the future will owe much, perhaps even their very lives, to the contributions and dedication of these individuals for the seismic safety of buildings and other structures. Without the dedication and hard work of these men and women, this document and all it represents with respect to earthquake risk mitigation would not have been possible.
