NSPE sends its profound sympathies to those affected by the devastating earthquake and tsunami in Japan. NSPE has offered its services to the Center for International Disaster Information and the Federal Emergency Management Agency in the wake of the disaster. NSPE would like to remind engineers not to self-deploy to the region. While professional engineers will be needed, their expertise and skills must be part of coordinated relief efforts to be of the greatest help. Professional engineers interested in assisting with relief efforts should register with the Center for International Disaster Information, or send their name and specialty area to NSPE Executive Director Larry Jacobson.
