Revising Practices for Seismic Safety

Members of the Interagency Committee on Seismic Safety in Construction (ICSSC) meet with the Institute's Building Seismic Safety Council (BSSC) Project Technical Committee in Washington, D.C. this week. The two committees discussed a draft of revised recommended practices for use by the federal agencies in evaluating and rehabilitating existing federal government owned and leased facilities. The BSSC is performing this project with funding from the National Institute of Standards and Technology, the lead agency for the National Earthquake Hazards Reduction Program (NEHRP).
