Subject: This paper investigates the policy formulation process related to seismic hazard mitigation. A pre-emergent policy climate is identified by focusing on key actors, assessments of seismic risk, and policy alternatives. Two major factors were found to affect key actor support for policy development: (1) the objective risk to which their constituent community is exposed; and (2) their elective or appointive position at the local level of government.
