Earthquake Hazard Preparedness Committee

Earthquake Hazard Preparedness Committee formed. State Civil Defense took the initiative to sponsor a special committee for Hawaii earthquake preparedness. Drawn from public, private and academic sectors, the committee brings together geotechnical, earthquake engineering and design experts, as well as seismologists, emergency managers and environmentalists. The Earthquake Hazard Preparedness Committee serves as an advisory group for short- and long-range hazard reduction plans and programs.

Earthquake Program. With technical input from the Hawaii State Earthquake Advisory Committee, the program is currently sponsoring seismic retrofit projects for emergency services and local bridges. The program is also supporting the adoption of International Building Code Standards in Hawaii County, calling for greater structural resistance to ground motion. Also in progress is the adoption of HAZUS, the nationwide standard for natural disaster loss estimation. The model provides rapid determination of potential quake damages and casualties. Hawaii’s program has also successfully trained over 100 volunteer architects and engineers to conduct post-disaster building safety evaluations. The inspections help determine if structures are safe to re-occupy.

Formed in August 1990, the Hawaii State Earthquake Advisory Committee meets quarterly to identify priorities for earthquake mitigation and preparedness. Comprised of scientists, engineers and emergency managers, the committee has been instrumental in helping to reduce earthquake vulnerability and risk through seismic safety workshops, use of the Hazards, U.S. (HAZUS) Earthquake Loss Estimation Methodology, and the posting of a construction guide on the hazard mitigation website for public information on strengthening homes.
