GeoHazards International (GHI) works to reduce suffering due to natural hazards in world’s most vulnerable communities. This project consists of developing a conceptual design of an earthquake- and tsunami-resistant community center in Padang, West Sumatra, Indonesia. The project as a whole involves international earth scientists, structural engineers, and community organizers from universities, governmental agencies, and nongovernmental organizations.
