A Survey of Damage to Historic Buildings and an Evaluation of Disaster Response Procedures of Local, State and Federal Agencies Following the Cape Mendocino Earthquake of April 92

在地震造成的破坏和破坏中，历史建筑受到了破坏。与其他类型的损失不同，历史建筑往往代表着社区历史记录和文化特征的永久丧失。1992年4月25日和26日发生在加利福尼亚州洪堡县的里氏7.1级、6.6级和6.7级的一系列地震损坏或摧毁了大约1000座建筑物，其中许多建筑物在1870年至1900年期间具有重要的建筑和历史意义。拟议的项目将描述这一事件，简要回顾该地区的历史，指出对历史建筑的破坏和破坏，指出可以以最低成本防止大部分破坏的缓解措施，描述灾害反应过程，并建议政府机构在救灾和重建工作中改善对历史建筑的处理方法。所要求的支持将包括研究生访问受影响地区、实地调查损害、采访公共机构、保护组织、咨询和建筑公司的知情受访者的费用，以及项目的其他补充费用。

Among the damage and destruction caused by earthquakes is that to historic architecture which, unlike other kinds of losses, often represent a permanent loss of the historic record and cultural identity of communities. The series of earthquakes on April 25 and 26, 1992, in Humboldt County, California, that measured 7.1, 6.6, and 6.7 on the Richter scale damaged or destroyed approximately 1,000 buildings, a number of which were of significant architectural and historic interest dating from the period between 1870 and 1900. The proposed project would describe the event, briefly review the history of the area, indicate the damage and destruction to historic buildings, point out mitigation measures which could have prevented much of the damage at minimal cost, describe the disaster response process, and suggest methods to improve the treatment of historic buildings in relief and reconstruction efforts by government agencies. Requested support would cover costs for a graduate student to visit the impacted area, physically survey damage, interview informed respondents in public agencies, preservation organizations, and consulting and construction firms, and cover other supplementary costs of the project.
