The Applied Technology Council is a nonprofit research organization based in California which studies the effects of natural hazards on the built environment and how to mitigate these effects, particularly earthquakes. It was founded through the efforts of the Structural Engineers Association of California in 1973. [1]
[[Category:Earthquake templates]] to the <includeonly> section at the bottom of that page. Otherwise, add <noinclude>[[Category:Earthquake templates]]</noinclude> to the end of the template code, making sure it starts on the same line as the code's last character.
The Alder Creek Bridge in Manchester, California, is located within an Alquist-Priolo Earthquake Fault Zone. [2] Buildings built before 1972 may still lie on top of active faults, and those buildings can remain where they were originally built, unless they undergo a major remodel where more than 50% of the building changes.
While it is little-known outside of the fields of earthquake science and emergency response, CEPEC has a big responsibility: The council convenes at the request of the California Emergency Management Agency (CalEMA) to decide whether an earthquake prediction or an incident, such as swarm of small earthquakes, is serious enough to merit a ...
Earthquake modification techniques and modern building codes are designed to prevent total destruction of buildings for earthquakes of no greater than 8.5 on the Richter Scale. [4] Although the Richter Scale is referenced, the localized shaking intensity is one of the largest factors to be considered in building resiliency.
"We are one event away from a large assessment," Victoria Roach, president of the FAIR Plan, said last year. Homeowners in California could pay a surcharge of $1,000 or more if FAIR Plan runs dry ...
If the template has a separate documentation page (usually called "Template:template name/doc"), add [[Category:Earthquakes in year templates]] to the <includeonly> section at the bottom of that page.
The 2015 Uniform California Earthquake Rupture Forecast, Version 3, or UCERF3, is the latest official earthquake rupture forecast (ERF) for the state of California, superseding UCERF2. It provides authoritative estimates of the likelihood and severity of potentially damaging earthquake ruptures in the long- and near-term.
