Earthquakes
Earthquake-specific activities at FEMA are coordinated by an earthquake program team located at FEMA headquarters, working in concert with regional earthquake program managers located in FEMA's regional offices. These personnel are known as the FEMA NEHRP team because their activities are supported through FEMA's participation in the National Earthquake Hazards Reduction Program (NEHRP).
FEMA Region X includes Idaho, Alaska, Oregon and Washington. Regional earthquake contact: Amanda Siok, 425-487-4626 or email amanda.siok@fema.dhs.gov
