About Us

Formed in August 2011, the California Residential Mitigation Program (CRMP) was established to provide grants and other types of assistance and incentives to homeowners of single-family residential buildings (one to four dwelling units) in California who wish to retrofit their houses to mitigate against earthquake damage. We want to help create a stronger and more resilient California. 

 As a not-for-profit, publicly managed, privately funded organization, CEA’s goal is to help educate, mitigate, and insure Californians against earthquake damage and loss. CEA promotes residential seismic retrofits through grant programs and offers a premium discount to homeowners with verified retrofits on eligible houses.
