Reducing Earthquake Risk Through Informed Action
Miyamoto’s engineers work with local and international partners to reduce the impacts of earthquakes by strengthening policy, planning, and risk awareness. Through the development of Earthquake Risk Assessments and actionable guidance, we help communities reduce injuries, save lives, and minimize economic disruption.
Our efforts focus on three key areas:
Risk Awareness: Providing first responders and city officials with the information needed to understand seismic vulnerabilities in their communities.
Preparedness Planning: Supporting governments and agencies in developing effective response strategies and damage assessment protocols.
Response Prioritization: Equipping emergency teams with the tools to navigate post-earthquake environments and make critical decisions that save lives.
By turning data into action and building consensus among stakeholders, Miyamoto helps create safer, more resilient cities worldwide.

Miyamoto International’s first project in Costa Rica is partnering with USAID/OFDA through the PREPARE program (Preparing Rescue and Emergency Personnel to Ameliorate the Response to Earthquakes) to provide city officials and first responders with a clearer picture of the impact of earthquake damage and assist Urban Search and Rescue to improve risk-management capacity. Through the development of Earthquake Risk Assessments, policy and practice changes the number of people injured, lives lost and economic disruption will eventually be reduced.
Under PREPARE, Miyamoto’s national and international engineers are working closely with USAID/OFDA to leverage their many years of institutional knowledge and experience in building consensus for the successful implementation of the PREPARE program.
These goals will be realized by focusing on three major tasks:
- Develop the information needed by first responders, municipal officials and staff to more fully understand the seismic risk in their city.
- Assist officials in improving planning for earthquakes and how best to implement damage assessments
- Assist first responders in understanding the likely post-earthquake environment and how to prioritize their efforts.
