FEMA added that if participants are working on planning and have a specific question orconcern, they can contact her, and she will see if it is possible to generate a map to helpprovide answers. Tim Walsh also mentioned the Washington State Geologic InformationPortal (on DNR’s website) as a potential resource.For the Evergreen exercises, one of the national labs was brought in to compile and presentthe scenario. As there are so many different agencies currently involved, it would bebeneficial to have CREW (or some other entity) act as the bridge between the public andprivate sector for this type of thing.Concluding Presentation: Tools for BusinessesTAMRA BIASCO AND CALE ASHON-LINE RESOURCESOnline resources include tools such as Be Quakesmart, Red Cross Ready Rating, EMD BusinessPortal, DRB Toolkit, Ready Business, and publications and products on CREW’s website, suchas Just-in-Time Inventory: Effects on Earthquake Recovery.FEMA PROGRAMSFEMA offers a variety of training sessions to the states (these are usually coordinated throughthe states). FEMA is working on offering these as Webinars in the future. FEMA also does avariety of courses, including a class on how to reduce the risks of nonstructural earthquakedamage. The Emergency Management Institute has online courses: www.training.fema.gov/emi/UNDERSTANDING THE MITIGATION PROCESS• Understand your risk: Where is your facility? What is the hazard? Where are yoursuppliers (or customers), and what preparation have they done?• Define target seismic performance: Performance-based seismic design means somebuildings may be engineered or retrofitted for life-safety, while others are designed forimmediate occupancy after an earthquake. Many other types of buildings will notperform well at all and may collapse or be near collapse as a result of an earthquake. Beaware that buildings designed for life-safety could still take months to repair after anearthquake. It may not be feasible to repair buildings that are near collapse.• Conduct an evaluation: Consider both structural and nonstructural performance. FEMAhas a nonstructural guide; ASCE has publications on structural standards & retrofitting(these also address nonstructural elements).• Determine Current Performance Levels and Mitigate to Improve Resiliency.30 | CREW Business Roundtables
