Abstract
The goal of this research project was to provide earthquake loss estimates for two test communities, Carbondale, IL, and Sikeston, MO, using readily available methods. The results must be in a form usable by each community, and the methods must be feasible for use by other similar communities. This project fits into a larger MAE Center program to evaluate and improve earthquake safety of essential facilities (hospitals, schools, fire stations, police stations) in Mid- America.
