Miyamoto International is a global structural and earthquake engineering firm best known for its work in California earthquake design for new and existing buildings as well as in the reconstruction of Port Au Prince, Haiti and Christchurch, New Zealand following earthquakes in 2010 and 2011.

==History==
What would become Miyamoto International was first founded as Arthur A. Sauer - Structural Engineer, by Arthur Sauer in Sacramento, CA in 1946. A former employee in the structural division of State Division of Architecture, Sauer served in World War II as a commander in the Navy Seabees, exploring a suitable site in the Pacific Northwest where an air base made of ice could be constructed (the project was canceled) before being stationed in Japan to oversee reconstruction projects until he was discharged, when he returned to Sacramento to start his own firm. As the company expanded to open offices in Stockton and Fresno, Sauer made three of his engineers, Ken Marr, Charles Grimes and Joe Wood, associates and then partners, with the company known as Sauer-Marr-Grimes-Wood Consulting Engineers until Sauer's retirement in 1979.
Kit Miyamoto joined the firm - which was at that time called Marr Shaffer & Associates - in 1989. A former running back for Butte College until a knee injury forced him to shift his focus to engineering, Miyamoto was mentored by CEO John Shaffer, who retired and sold him the company in 1997, when it became Marr Shaffer & Miyamoto, Inc.〔http://www.modbee.com/2011/06/12/1727373_west-sacramento-analyst-assesses.html〕 In 1999, he was named one of the "Top 40 Executives Under 40" by the ''Sacramento Business Journal''. In 2002, the company purchased Martin & Huang, when it became MHI Miyamoto before changing its name to Miyamoto International in 2004. Miyamoto International expanded into risk management in 2005 when it partnered with Global Risk Consultants to form Global Risk Miyamoto. In 2010, Miyamoto earned his Phd in Earthquake Engineering from the Tokyo Institute of Technology.〔
Following the Haiti earthquake in 2010 Miyamoto assisted in post-disaster assessment and reconstruction, and established a location as a Haitian company.〔 In the aftermath of the 2011 earthquake in Christchurch, New Zealand, Miyamoto partnered worked on the reconstruction of Christchurch and implemented an earthquake risk reduction program in New Zealand. In 2012, Miyamoto Thailand was added to address earthquake risks in Southeast Asia.〔 They now have offices in the US in Sacramento, Los Angeles, Orange County, San Diego, San Francisco Bay Area, Portland and Washington DC, as well as international locations in Haiti, Italy, Turkey, Thailand, Japan and New Zealand.
