Subject: The California Seismic Safety Commission (CSSC) sent teams to investigate earthquake damage in Taiwan, Turkey and Greece. The investigations aimed to determine what pre-event actions lead to the high damage and loss of life, what post-earthquake actions have been or will be taken to reduce losses from future damaging earthquakes, identify what actions can be applied to California's earthquake risk reduction efforts and provide technical assistance to these countries. This report summarizes lessons from these earthquakes that can be applied to meet the objectives of "California's Earthquake Hazards Reduction Act of 1986"
