Central
America Unites Against Earthquakes
Experts
in Central America are conducting joint
seismology studies and are working
together on programmes to mitigate the
impacts of earthquakes, which have
caused thousands of deaths and millions
of dollars in material losses in the
region over recent decades.
This regional integration of experts
received a boost with the signing this

Seismology Centre of Central America (CSAC),
founded in 1998 and based in Costa Rica,
and the independent Norwegian
foundation, NORSAR, which runs some of
the world's leading seismology
observatories.
