Earthquake 06
Earthquake 06 : Natural Disaster. "The sudden motion or trembling in the earth caused by an abrupt release of slowly accumulating strain which results in ground shaking, surface faulting, or ground failures. Most areas of the United States are subject to earthquakes, and they occur literally thousands of times per year. Most earthquake occurrences result in little or no damage; however, even a moderate earthquake (magnitude 6-7) such as the San Fernando quake in 1971 can result in $500 million in damages and the loss of life of 60 or more people". (FEMA, IEMS, HICA MYDP (CPG 1-34), 1985, p. A-1)
