Business Interruption and the Northridge Earthquake

这个项目是国家减少地震灾害计划的一部分，该计划旨在调查1994年1月17日北岭地震的原因和影响。这项研究的目的是：估计地震造成的业务中断的程度；对重灾区的灾后业务恢复程度进行为期一年的评估；并探讨公司是否已经调整了他们的行为，并为未来制定了地震准备和减灾战略。所使用的方法将包括调查和非调查信息来源的混合。该项目还将使用南加州规划模型。＊＊＊

9416758 Gordon 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 research aims to : estimate the extent of business interruptions resulting from the earthquake; undertake a one-year assessment of the extent of post-earthquake business recovery in the heavily impacted areas; and explore whether or not firms have adjusted their behavior and developed earthquake preparedness and mitigation strategies for the future. The methods used will include a mix of surveys and non-survey sources of information. The project will also use the Southern California Planning Model. ***
