While October is known for eerie celebrations, there’s nothing strange or frightening about this EERI offer (and to be fair, it’s not eerie, but E-E-R-I). Still, this month is the perfect time to become a member of the Earthquake Engineering Research Institute—especially for DR subscribers.
You don’t have to be an engineer to take advantage of the earthquake information, professional awards, and career resources that come with a membership in the EERI. The nationally known association is made up of members from a variety of disciplines who are interested in furthering understanding of the physical, social, economic, and political impacts of earthquakes.
For a limited time, when you buy a 2012 membership, you’ll receive the following benefits:
Special issues of the EERI’s journal, Earthquake Spectra, featuring the 2010 Haiti earthquake and the 2008 Great Southern California ShakeOut;
The November 2011 issue of Earthquake Spectra, plus online access to all past issues; and,
Special upcoming Earthquake Spectra issues on the 2010 Chile earthquake and the 2011 Tohoku earthquake and tsunami.
In addition to these great publications, DR subscribers who join before October 14 will get a printed copy of pioneering sociologist Bill Anderson's oral history, which was featured in DR 572.
Dues are $270 for regular membership, $135 for young professionals, and $55 for students. To join, visit the EERI Membership page.
