The Organizing Committee of the 9th International Workshop on Seismic Microzoning and Risk Reduction (9thIWSMRR) is very much pleased of inviting you to participate in the workshop activities to be held in Cuernavaca, Mexico from 21 to 24 February, 2010.
This Workshop is the continuation of the efforts initiated in 1992 at the first joint workshop by Japanese and Spanish researchers on seismic microzoning in Granada, Spain. Since then, three meetings have been held in Spain and four more in Japan. The 8th Workshop was celebrated in Spain in March 2009. In 2010, the Workshop will take place in the American continent for the first time; Mexico will host international scientists working in these areas.
This Workshop is focused on the discussion of methodologies and results on Earthquakes, Earthquake Engineering, Seismic Hazard Assessment, Seismic Risk, Earthquake Disaster Mitigation and Management, and other related subjects applicable in urban areas. The attendees are invited to exchange ideas and experiences about pragmatic tools to assess, mitigate, and respond to earthquakes at urban and regional scales.
Scientists, engineers, disaster mitigation planners, decision makers as well as representatives of the private sector are warmly invited to participate and contribute to the scientific sessions and discussions, and other social events scheduled to take place in 9thIWSMRR.
