FEMA P-58-1,  Seismic Performance Assessment of Buildings, Volume 1 – Methodology, Second Edition
This report describes a general methodology and recommended procedures to assess the probable seismic performance of individual buildings based on their unique site, structural, nonstructural, and occupancy characteristics. Performance is measured in terms of the probability of incurring casualties, repair and replacement costs, repair time, selected environmental impacts, and unsafe placarding.

FEMA P-58-2,  Seismic Performance Assessment of Buildings, Volume 2 – Implementation Guide, Second Edition
This Second Edition Implementation Guide provides guidance on implementation and use of the methodology set forth in FEMA P-58,Volume 1 to assess the seismic performance of individual buildings based on their unique site, structural, nonstructural, and occupancy characteristics, expressed in terms of the probability of incurring casualties, repair and replacement costs, repair time, environmental impacts, and unsafe placarding.

FEMA P-58-3, Seismic Performance Assessment of Buildings, Volume 3 – Supporting Electronic Materials, Third Edition
This volume consists of a series of electronic products assembled to assist engineers in conducting seismic performance assessments and in understanding the technical basis of the methodology.

FEMA P-58-4, Seismic Performance Assessment of Buildings, Volume 4 – Methodology for Assessing Environmental Impacts
This report describes a recommended methodology for incorporating assessment of environmental impacts, along with other consequences, that are associated with the repair of damage caused by earthquake shaking. The findings were used to update the methodology and PACT to incorporate environmental impact consequences.

FEMA P-58-5, Seismic Performance Assessment of Buildings, Volume 5 – Expected Seismic Performance of Code-Conforming Buildings
Volume 5 describes the application of the FEMA P-58 assessment methodology to a group of archetypical buildings representative of structures conforming to the seismic design requirements of the current building code.

FEMA P-58-6, Guidelines for Performance-Based Seismic Design of Buildings
This volume provides guidelines and recommendations for specifying seismic performance objectives in terms of FEMA P-58 performance metrics, and for selecting appropriate structural and nonstructural systems, configurations, and characteristics necessary to achieve the desired performance in varying regions of seismicity

FEMA P-58-7, Building the Performance You Need, A Guide to State-of-the Art Tools for Seismic Design and Assessment
This short document is intended for project managers and decision-makers, and presents a non-technical basis for using a performance-based approach for seismic design and assessment. This document is also supported by an online quiz.
