He is a national leader in risk management, publishing more than 50 papers on resilience, and presenting to building stakeholders worldwide. Evan co-founded the USRC in 2011 as a way to educate building stakeholders about the gap between sustainability and true resilient design. The USRC’s mission and vision are to advocate for resilience-based design, and a future where we not only have a low impact on the environment, the environment has a low impact on us. The USRC recently sponsored a bill that will appropriate $250 million in grant funding toward the seismic retrofit of soft story apartment buildings.
