This document was prepared under the guidance of the Post-Earthquake Investigations Program of the Earthquake Hazards Reduction Act. This Act requires that the four agencies participating in the National Earthquake Hazards Reduction Program (NEHRP) to carry out post-earthquake investigations programs to learn lessons that can be applied to reduce the loss of lives and property in future earthquakes. Specifically, the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), the National Science Foundation (NSF), the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), and the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) are required to organize investigations to study the implications of the earthquake in the areas of responsibility of each agency. The USGS is charged with the responsibility of organizing these investigations, and each agency is given specific roles according to that agencyÕs mission and expertise.
This document reports specifically on the scientific work done by the U.S. Geological Survey following the Northridge, California, earthquake of January 17, 1994. This work was accomplished according to an Interagency Agreement among the four NEHRP agencies signed on March 14, 1994, that listed the post-earthquake Tasks of each agency.
