Articles published in these journals regularly receive media coverage both in the United States and abroad.SSA holds an annual scientific conference that facilitates communication about the latest developments in earthquake science, engineering and policy. The Society's 2018 conference was held in Miami, Florida, and served nearly 900 attendees, exhibitors, speakers and SSA officials. The SSA conference earned news coverage from outlets in the United States and abroad. SSA convened a joint scientific conference with the Latin American and Caribbean Seismological Commission.As an internationally recognized professional organization, the Seismological Society of America is the world's leader in the advancement of the earthquake science and informing earthquake related public policy. SSA disseminates information to the scientific community through its two prestigious journals as well as to policymakers via individual meetings and briefings. SSA collaborates with other scientific organizations to support the study of earthquakes and the application of that knowledge to improve public safety and resilience. The Society also supports a Washington-based lobbyist that maintains regular dialogue with federal lawmakers and other federal policymakers.SSA actively cultivates the future of earthquake science and seismology by engaging students and professionals, by recognizing excellence in the seismology community, and by raising public awareness of the science and its value to society.
