An Assessment of the Consequences and Preparations for a Catastrophic California Earthquake: Findings and Actions Taken
United States. Federal Emergency Management Agency
''An Assessment of the Consequences and Preparations for a Catastrophic California Earthquake'' is a late 20th-century publication by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA). It evaluates the potential impacts of a major earthquake in California, highlighting the inadequacies of current preparedness measures and the urgent need for enhanced strategies. The assessment was prompted by President Carter's concerns after the Mt. St. Helens eruption and emphasizes risks related to aging infrastructure and anticipated casualties, aiming to inform government officials and the public about necessary actions for earthquake readiness.
