What is CRISIS? CRISIS is a state-of-the-art, worldwide and well-known solution for performing Probabilistic Seismic Hazard Analyses (PSHA).

What is ERN? ERN is an engineering and consulting firm created in 1996 by Professors Mario Ordaz Schroeder, Eduardo Reinoso Angulo and Eduardo Miranda Mijares. ERN is a world leader in natural and anthropogenic hazard and risk assessments, offering expert solutions for governments, multi-lateral organizations, regulatory entities and the insurance and engineering sectors.
What is the role of ERN with CRISIS? The first version of CRISIS was released in 1986 by Professor Mario Ordaz and continues to be developed by him and many contributors (see about page). The continuous improvement and promotion of CRISIS has always been indirectly sponsored by ERN. We believe the support of R-CRISIS as an ERN public and free product will reassure its users of its modernity, robustness, quality and use in the coming years.
