Northridge Earthquake: Lifeline Performance and Post-Earthquake Response
1995,
340 pages
$66.80
This monograph describes the earthquake performance, emergency response, and recovery for the following lifeline systems: electric power, water, wastewater communications, roads and bridges, railroads, ports, airports, gas, and liquid fuels. In addition, the impact of lifeline disruption on emergency response capabilities of hospitals and fire suppression elements of the emergency response community are discussed. For each lifeline, damage, emergency response methods used to cope with damage and disruption, and the restoration and recovery processes are described. Implemented and proposed changes in equipment and facility design specifications, operating procedures, and emergency response plans are also explained. Each section summarizes the lessons learned, makes recommendations to improve system earthquake response, and identifies needed research.
