One of the primary components of the National Earthquake Hazards Reduction Program are State Earthquake Program Managers. This group is made up of (usually) State Emergency Management Agency representatives who actively plan and prepare to reduce earthquake related losses in their states. In many states, there is a dedicated Earthquake Program Manager, in others it is a shared responsibility. Collectively, the group is known as the “National Earthquake Program Managers”, and they hold annual meetings to develop programs, best practices, and foster relationships.
