THE CALIFORNIA GEOLOGICAL SURVEY (CGS) is one of the oldest geological surveys in the United States, having been established in 1860. We map and analyze data on the state's diverse geologic environment, earthquakes, and other geologic hazards and mineral resources to provide critical information to protect life, property, commerce, and the environment from natural hazards. The California Geological Survey is regarded as the primary source of geologic information used for decision-making by California's government agencies, its businesses, and the public. www.conservation.ca.gov

The Applied Technology Council (ATC) develops and promotes state-of-the-art, user-friendly engineering resources and applications for use in mitigating the effects of natural and other hazards on the built environment. ATC also identifies and encourages needed research and develops consensus opinions on structural engineering issues in a nonproprietary format. www.atcouncil.org

Created in 2000, the Coasts, Oceans, Ports, and Rivers Institute (COPRI) is a semi-autonomous institute of the American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE), the country's oldest national engineering society. COPRI's services are designed to complement ASCE's traditional civil engineering base, and attract non-engineering allied professionals who seek to enhance their professional and technical development.

The Southern California Earthquake Center (SCEC)  is a community of over 700 scientists, students, and others at over 70 institutions worldwide, headquartered at the University of Southern California. SCEC is funded by the National Science Foundation and the U.S. Geological Survey to coordinatesfundamental research on earthquake processes using Southern California as its principal natural laboratory. This research program is investigator-driven and supports core research and education in seismology, tectonic geodesy, earthquake geology, and computational science. The SCEC community advances earthquake system science through three basic activities: (a) gathering information from seismic and geodetic sensors, geologic field observations, and laboratory experiments; (b) synthesizing knowledge of earthquake phenomena through physics-based modeling, including system-level hazard modeling; and (c) communicating our understanding of seismic hazards to reduce earthquake risk and promote community resilience. The latter includes SCEC’s coordination of Great ShakeOut Earthquake Drills worldwide and the Earthquake Country Alliance in California. SCEC is a technical co-organizer of 11NCEE. www.scec.org

The Earthquake Engineering Research Institute (EERI) is a national, nonprofit, technical society of engineers, geoscientists, architects, planners, public officials, and social scientists. EERI members include researchers, practicing professionals, educators, government officials, and building code regulators. The objective of the Earthquake Engineering Research Institute is to reduce earthquake risk by (1) advancing the science and practice of earthquake engineering, (2) improving understanding of the impact of earthquakes on the physical, social, economic, political, and cultural environment, and (3) advocating comprehensive and realistic measures for reducing the harmful effects of earthquakes. The National Conference on Earthquake Engineering is hosted every four years by EERI. www.eeri.org
