Managing Risk in Earthquake Country
Produced for the 100th Anniversary Conference commemorating the 1906 San Francisco Earthquake, this report summarizes the estimated losses for a repeat of the 1906 earthquake. It then lists actions that can be taken by residents, businesses, earthquake professionals, and governments to increase safety, reduce losses, and ensure a speedier recovery when the next major earthquake strikes the Northern California Bay Area. The action agenda can be adapted by other communities that face earthquake risk.
