| National Survey for Seismic Protection (NSSP) | |||
| Location: | Armenia / Western Asia | ||
| Mission: | The state management body - National Survey for Seismic Protection under the Government of the Republic of Armenia (NSSP RA) is the institution which was founded by the directive of the Government of the Republic of Armenia on 17 July 1991 and was given special governmental status. The president of NSSP RA is directly subordinated to the Prime Minister of the Republic of Armenia. The main goal of the NSSP RA is seismic risk reduction in Armenia i.e. the population residence hazard mitigation, as well as the state economic and social loss reduction results from earthquake. To achieve this goal NSSP RA has developed two long-term Strategic National Programs on seismic risk reduction in Armenia and in Yerevan city. The Programs adopted by the Government of the Republic of Armenia on the 7th and 10th of July in 1999 and are including long-term (up to 30 years), medium-term (up to 5 years) and short-term (up to 1 year) tasks. All the Ministries and other Governmental, non-Governmental and private organization will participate and contribute these National Programs under the general co-ordination of the NSSP RA assigned by the Government as a state responsible body for the Seismic Risk Reduction Strategy development and implementation which includes: - seismic hazard and risk assessment - vulnerability reduction in urban areas, including reinforcement and upgrading of existing buildings and structures as well as areas of location of critical engineered structures (NPP, dams, bridges, etc.) - design of new seismic building codes - public awareness, people education and training - early warning and notification - risk management, including emergency response and rescue operations - disaster relief and people rehabilitation - insurance - partnership establishment, involving public and private organizations - development of state laws and regulations on seismic risk reduction - internationalization of National Programs on the base of wide spread international co-operation | ||
