You will see from a glance at the brochure that the meeting will be an irresistible opportunity to learn, after two years of damaging earthquakes, the most important lessons from leaders in our earthquake risk reduction fields. Because of the joint nature of the meeting you will have a unique opportunity to network with colleagues at the forefront of all our professions. Held jointly this year with the National Earthquake Conference, the meeting is being organized by EERI and the FEMA regional earthquake consortia.*<BR>

The registration site also has information about the hotel and how to submit poster session abstracts (deadline January 23). The hotel group rate expires March 23, but the room block could fill up earlier.<BR>

*The FEMA consortia consists of the Western States Seismic Policy Council (WSSPC), the Central U.S. Earthquake Consortium (CUSEC), the Northeast States Emergency Consortium (NESEC), and the Cascadia Region Earthquake Workgroup (CREW).<BR>
