General Review of the Seismic Hazard to Selected U.S. Navy Installations
Abstract
The report summarizes the findings of the Natural Hazards Review Panel whose mission it was to investigate the nature and magnitude of the threats posed to Naval bases by earthquakes and earthquake-related natural hazards including tsunamis, seiches (and the accompanying flooding), landslides, mudflows and soil foundation failures which may result from earthquakes. In addition to citing specific problems for Naval bases in the San Francisco, San Diego and the Manila areas, the introduction to this report recommends conducting a rapid visual survey initially to pinpoint the nature of various danger areas. It then recommends the follow-on procedure leading to various strategic and engineering decisions which will provide the required degree of protection to insure Fleet Operational Readiness and to provide cost effectiveness in protecting the Navy against serious earthquake damage.
