Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Northridge Earthquake; Extent of Damage and Federal Response: Hearing Before the Committee on Public Works and Transportation, House of Representatives, One Hundred Third Congress, Second Session A major earthquake, measuring on the Richter scale, struck the heavily populated suburban area of Los Angeles in the San Fernando Valley at Northridge, California, at am, pst on January 17, 1994. The fault was unknown before the quake. The earthquake had a lateral thrust up on two converging plates. This resulted in a sudden and strong vertical acceleration that caused damage that was considerably more severe than other comparable earthquakes or even the Loma Prieta earthquake in Northern California in 1989.

Topics include: History of past fires; Computer modeling of fire spread in the post-earthquake urban environment; Concurrent damage and fire impacts for water, power gas, communication and transportation systems; Examples of reliable water systems built or designed in San Francisco, Vancouver, Berkeley, and Kyoto; Use of large diameter (5 in.) and ultralarge diameter (12 in.) flex hose for fire fighting and water restoration; and Cost-effectiveness of various FFE mitigation strategies, with a detailed benefit-cost model. Water utility engineers, fire fighting professionals, and emergency response planners will benefit from reading this book.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A detailed look at the state’s most terrifying and destructive disasters—photos included. Home to hundreds of faults, California leads the nation in frequency of earthquakes every year. And despite enduring their share of the natural disasters, residents still speculate over the inevitable “big one.” More than three thousand people lost their lives during the 1906 San Francisco earthquake. Long Beach’s 1933 earthquake caused nearly $50 million in damages. And the Northridge earthquake injured thousands and left a $550 million economic hit. In this book, historian Abraham Hoffman explores the personal accounts and aftermath of California’s most destructive tremors.
