Foundedin 1981, thejournal wasknown asJournal of Seismology. In 2009, it was changed into a bimonthly publication issued in both China and overseas.In 2003, the editorial office made a significant reform, changing the journal title toJournal of Disaster Prevention and Mitigation Engineering. The establishment of the journal achieved a resounding success.As a result of its distinct and promising research directions, the journalattracted 10 universities and research institutionsto be its co-spo
