Haiti
January 19th, 2010
MHP sends our condolences to the Haitian citizens during this sorrowful event. As structural engineers working daily to protect lives against such tragedies, we are especially cognizant of the seismic risk in many areas throughout the world. While we are fortunate in the United States to have more stringent building codes, there is still much to be done to strengthen our existing buildings and protect the structures, businesses, and particularly the lives of those relying on these buildings for their safety. MHP has made a contribution to support the relief efforts in Haiti and we encourage you to do the same.
