The University of Southern California (USC) has been awarded a $190,000 Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) National Earthquake Hazards Reduction Program (NEHRP) State Assistance Grant (CFDA 97.082) to support earthquake preparedness and mitigation efforts in Los Angeles, California. The grant, with a performance period from September 1, 2024 to February 28, 2026, will enable USC's Contracts and Grants Department to conduct earthquake hazard assessments, develop emergency planning resources, and deliver public education campaigns aimed at reducing the risk of potential earthquake-related damages in the high-risk seismic region. As a leading private research university, USC leverages its expertise in areas such as engineering, geosciences, and disaster management to support FEMA's comprehensive earthquake hazard reduction initiatives across the United States.
