The overall goal of this conference is to provide a regional forum for the presentation, exchange of ideas and potential solutions involved with preparing for a significant central U.S. earthquake. The conference will open communication with academia, government, non-government agencies, and the private sectors to address the current and forecasted needs of the response and recovery community.
