Leary, editor1st ed.New York Nova Sciencec20091 online resource (141 p.)Natural disaster research, prediction and mitigation seriesDescription based upon print version of record.1-60692-648-9 Includes bibliographical references and index.Earthquakes : risk, monitoring, notification, and research / Peter Folger -- Annual Report of the National Earthquake Hazards Reduction Program / FEMA National Institute of Standards and Technology, National Science Foundation, and USGS -- Forecasting California's earthquakes : what can we expect in the next 30 years?.Close to 75 million people in 39 states face some risk from earthquakes. Seismic hazards are greatest in the western United States, particularly California, Alaska, Washington, Oregon, and Hawaii. The Rocky Mountain region, a portion of the central United States known as the New Madrid Seismic Zone, and portions of the eastern seaboard, particularly South Carolina, also have a relatively high earthquake hazard. Compared to the loss of life in other countries, relatively few Americans have died as a result of earthquakes over the past 100 years. The United States, however, faces the possibility of large economic losses from earthquake damaged buildings and infrastructure.Natural disaster research, prediction and mitigation series.Earthquake hazard analysisEarthquakesSafety measuresEarthquake resistant designEarthquake predictionEarthquake hazard analysis.EarthquakesSafety measures.Earthquake resistant design.Earthquake prediction.363.4/95Leary Earl V1869698MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910961983003321Earthquakes4477919UNINA
