GeoHazards International in the World News
Supporters Speak about Our Impact

What about Japan, California and Mexico? (The Washington Post)
The Washington Post’s Joel Achenbach references GHI’s work in Nepal:
“It may turn out that the many years of hard work in Nepal on earthquake preparedness and disaster mitigation — work by nonprofit organizations, such as GeoHazards International, and by Nepalese officials, scientists and educators — have saved thousands of lives that otherwise would have been lost Saturday.”

Like Nepal, SoCal will have a major quake (The Sun)
Lucy Jones, Ph.D., a USGS seismologist based at Caltech, discusses the role of preparation in determining a community’s recovery from major earthquake: “A groundbreaking nonprofit group, Geohazards International, brings modern knowledge about natural disasters to developing countries. It began work in Kathmandu in 1997 to help people there develop better disaster management and reduction programs, retrofit their schools and develop better building codes. Despite how devastating this earthquake has clearly been, it would have been worse without the efforts of this extraordinary small group of people.”

Nepal and Preparing for Major Earthquakes (Science Around Michigan)

Not If, But When: Planning for the Next Nepal (Tiny Spark)
