9415728 Lindell This project is being funded as part of the National Earthquake Hazards Reduction Program's investigation into the causes and effects of the January 17, 1994 Northridge earthquake. The study will survey companies operating hazardous material facilities to assess the extent to which the earthquake initiated releases, caused precursor events (such as damage to storage tanks, pipes, and valves), and produced a loss of emergency response systems (especially power and communications). The study will also assess the degree to which the facilities had developed hazard mitigation and emergency preparedness measures before the Northridge earthquake, have upgraded these measures since the earthquake occurred, or intended to upgrade them in the near future. The research will provide a greater understanding of the magnitude of hazardous materials threats posed by earthquakes, and the factors that influence the adoption of mitigation measures and emergency preparedness actions. ***

9415728林德尔这个项目是作为国家地震灾害减少计划的一部分，对1994年1月17日北岭地震的原因和影响进行调查。 该研究将调查经营危险材料设施的公司，以评估地震引发释放、造成前兆事件（如储罐、管道和阀门损坏）以及造成应急系统（特别是电力和通信）损失的程度。 这项研究还将评估这些设施减轻灾害的程度 和应急准备措施 在北岭地震之后，这些国家已经或打算在不久的将来升级这些措施。 这项研究将使人们更好地了解地震造成的危险材料威胁的严重程度，以及影响采取减灾措施和应急准备行动的因素。 ***
