What happens beneath our feet can be just as important as what happens to the structures above them.

Robb Moss’s work in geotechnical earthquake engineering and post-earthquake reconnaissance helps engineers better understand hazards such as liquefaction and turn real-world observations into better tools and decisions.

This Great ShakeOut, support the experts working from the ground up to build a more resilient future.

Building earthquake resilience takes more than understanding the hazard—it takes understanding how communities can prepare, adapt, and recover.

Yumei Wang’s work has helped bring that broader perspective to earthquake and tsunami resilience, connecting post-earthquake lessons with planning for safer communities.

This Great ShakeOut, support the people and ideas helping turn earthquake knowledge into action.
