Resources Press releases and other resources Disasters If you want to ride out an earthquake, your home has to be engineered to take quite a hit. NEES equipment sites bring seismic forces into the hands of engineers designing earthquake-resistant structures. Network for Earthquake Engineering Simulation If you want to ride out an earthquake, your home has to be engineered to take quite a hit. NEES equipment sites bring seismic forces into the hands of engineers designing earthquake-resistant structures. Tsunami Within days of the massive tsunami in the Indian Ocean in late 2004, teams of researchers rushed to survey the disaster, hoping to learn how such loss of lives, property and ecosystems could be prevented. Beyond Sept. 11th : An Account of Post-Disaster Research On Monday, February 23, the National Science Foundation hosted six of the nation's top rapid-response researchers to report on their experiences at Ground Zero.
