Book excerpt: Until recently experts who studied risks, both natural and technological, focused mainly on how to avoid them. Today, with a growing awareness that certain natural risks are simply unavoidable, the emphasis is shifting toward ways of planning for them and of mitigating their consequences. High on any list of unavoidable natural risks is earthquake. In Planning for Earthquakes Philip R. Berke and Timothy Beatley examine the experiences of 260 earthquake-prone communities across the United States, from the West Coast to the East. They give special attention to three areas of especially high risk--Palo Alto, California; Salt Lake County, Utah; and the lowlands of South Carolina (including historic Charleston). Berke and Beatley address topics that include citizen safety, ways of determining and maintaining the structural integrity of old and new buildings, mapping of quake-prone areas, and land-use (where to limit development). They also study the ways in which planners, politicians, and community residents can best work together in the decision-making process for earthquake planning. The authors conclude that the greatest successes have been achieved when technological considerations are counterbalanced with consideration of the values and preferences of those most at risk--the residents of quake-prone areas. Planning for Earthquakes will interest students and scholars of hazards management as well as land-use planners and government officials.

Book excerpt: Discusses efforts of city governments in California and Washington State to address earthquake risks. Local governmental willingness and ability to undertake risk-reduction programs have more to do with local political demands and community resources than with objective risk or previous earthquake experience. State mandates have a selective impact on local risk-reduction efforts. The principal policy lessons concern the need to address gaps in local risk-reduction efforts through more careful targeting of federal and state programs.

Download or read book Toward an Understanding of the Gap Between Earthquake Science and Local Policy in Orange County, California written by Eric Edward Runnerstrom and published by . This book was released on 2009 with total page 103 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The objective of this study is to measure the extent to which earthquake-science was being used for earthquake loss mitigation by local-level governments in Orange County, California as of 2003. A list of earthquake-science research products that have usefulness in mitigating earthquake losses may be compiled using (1) General Plan Guidelines issued by the State of California's Office of Planning and Research, and (2) the Communication, Education, and Outreach Program of the Southern California Earthquake Center. In the context of local-level planning, the safety element chapter of each city's general plan is the overarching document that contains text, graphics, and figures that together comprise a set of programs, goals, and policies for the purpose of mitigating earthquake losses. By comparing the list of research products to the content of safety elements, this research moved toward an understanding of the extent and nature of the gap between science and policy, in the context of local government. The study followed a descriptive line of empirical inquiry procedures by administering an enumerative survey to a cross-section of one group of archived safety element documents whose analyzed content was recorded in a tabular review format. A non-probability, purposive sample of thirty-four participants was selected for this study. Each participant represents one of the thirty-four official cities in Orange County, California as of the end of 2003. The content of each participant's safety element chapter was analyzed in two phases. The first phase determined which earthquake-science research products were utilized by cities. The second phase extracted the programs, goals, and policies from the safety elements and then classified them according to emergent categorical schemes, which were enumerated in a descriptive, summary form. This study (1) identified the general use of earthquake-science research as a group of products used by city planners, (2) enumerated the extent to which specific products were being used, and (3) summarized the general status of cities' safety elements regarding the expectation of being periodically revised and updated.

This book was released on 2006-01-04 with total page 196 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Improved Seismic Monitoringâ€"Improved Decision-Making, describes and assesses the varied economic benefits potentially derived from modernizing and expanding seismic monitoring activities in the United States. These benefits include more effective loss avoidance regulations and strategies, improved understanding of earthquake processes, better engineering design, more effective hazard mitigation strategies, and improved emergency response and recovery. The economic principles that must be applied to determine potential benefits are reviewed and the report concludes that although there is insufficient information available at present to fully quantify all the potential benefits, the annual dollar costs for improved seismic monitoring are in the tens of millions and the potential annual dollar benefits are in the hundreds of millions.
