The IISEE (International Institute of Seismology and Earthquake Engineering) has conducted a research project entitled "Information Network on Earthquake Disaster Prevention Technologies" in 2000.4~2003.3. This project aimed at accumulating and diffusing valuable technical information in order to contribute to disaster prevention efforts in earthquake-vulnerable countries.
This site is providing results of this three-year research project. The IISEE will keep improving this site by upgrading and expanding information database.
