The Earthquake Engineering Research Institute, a Short History of the U.S. National Earthquake Engineering Society
The Earthquake Engineering Research Institute (EERI) was founded in 1948 as a multidisciplinary national society of engineers, geoscientists, building officials, and architects dedicated to advancing the science and practice of earthquake engineering and reducing the impacts of earthquakes on society. The founding members came together from teaching, research, governmental regulation, and practice in engineering, and architecture with the intention to establish a research institution. Today EERI has approximately 2,400 members. As the field of earthquake hazard mitigation expands, EERI takes on tasks that reflect its unique interdisciplinary membership, fostering communication between different disciplines and bridging the gap between new knowledge, design, practice, and risk reduction policies. This paper traces the evolution of the Earthquake Engineering Research Institute from a small technical society to its current role as a major voice in earthquake engineering and seismic policy.
