This institute has news, meeting information, earthquake legislation, reconnaissance reports, and career development.

This glossary from the U.S. Geological Survey's Earthquake Hazards Program contains nearly 200 earthquake-related terms. Each term is linked to a page containing much additional information including illustrations.

This site offers earthquake engineering data, software, an archive of more than 100,000 searchable abstracts, a database of technical reports, and reports on recent major earthquakes. This site also has several image and photograph databases.

A national center dedicated to the discovery and development of new knowledge, tools and technologies that equip communities to become more disaster resilient in the face of earthquakes and other extreme events. MCEER accomplishes this through a system of multidisciplinary, multi-hazard research, education and outreach initiatives, publications, meetings and conferences.
