USRC Industry Partners
The USRC established the Industry Partner Committee (IPC) in 2020 to leverage the knowledge and expertise of its industry members to improve understanding of the performance of structures during seismic and other natural hazard events. USRC Industry Partners have committed to providing technical information, support, and options for improving expected building performance which can thereby help to improve a structure’s resilience and USRC rating.
