9416758戈登这个项目是作为国家减少地震灾害计划的一部分得到资助的，该计划调查了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程度；对受影响严重地区的地震后业务恢复程度进行为期一年的评估；以及探索公司是否已经调整了他们的行为并为未来制定了防震减灾战略。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式。***

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. ***
