Written principally for design professionals (architects and structural engineers), the document introduces and discusses (1) seismic risk management and the means to develop a risk management plan; (2) guidance for identifying and assessing earthquake-related hazards during the site selection process; (3) emerging concepts in performance-based seismic design; and (4) seismic design and performance issues related to six specific building occupancies„commercial office facilities, commercial retail facilities, light manufacturing facilities, healthcare facilities, local schools (kindergarten through grade 12), and higher education facilities (universities).\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAvailable free of charge by contacting FEMA (phone: 1-800-480-2520). \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eClick \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0839\/4224\/4564\/files\/FEMA389TOC.pdf?v=1783551017\" target=\"_blank\"\u003ehere\u003c\/a\u003e to view the Title Page, Preface, and Contents.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eNote: FEMA documents are available online free of charge.
