Office of Hazards Studies) ; 108Publication details: NOV 1986Description: 18p., 16 refs, 7 tables, 1 figReport number: CEE-82-12799Subject: This paper will focus on the individual and organisational barriers that impede the abatement of seismic hazards to major lifeline systems - power, water, sewer, and transportation - at the local level. The local level has been selected for analysis because directors of community lifeline systems are primarily responsible for recommending or initiating any mitigative actions that would "harden" these systems. The data reported in this paper derive from a study conducted with 1,503 local (city and county) decisionmakers in 121 cities in moderate and high risk areas in the Central United States
