Many public utilities, municipalities, insurers and engineers
recognize the value of seismic hazard evaluations in building siting
and design, lifeline design, urban planning, and investment evaluations.
I have advised a number of these organizations over the past two decades.
I do most of my advising work now through Earth
Consultants International, a consulting firm that several of my colleagues
and I created recently. You
can find a description of my activities at the ECI
website.
