**APIs profiled:** 1

ASCE Amplify is a platform created by the American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE) that provides civil engineering data and advocacy tools. The platform includes the ASCE Hazard Tool API, which provides a simple interface to query locations in the United States for environmental hazard data by geographic location. The Hazard Tool API covers seismic, wind, snow, ice, flood, and other environmental hazard loads used in structural design per ASCE standards. ASCE Amplify also supports advocacy, connecting civil engineers with elected officials to advocate for infrastructure investment and sustainable practices.
