| Abstract / Summary: |
A seismic loss assessment was conducted for the State of Illinois for the purposes of
determining the vulnerable infrastructure elements, prioritizing mitigation efforts in
the state, quantifying damage in economic terms, and aiding in the development of
public awareness projects. The study was performed using FEMA’s HAZUS loss
estimation software, and included several levels of analysis. First, a level 1 loss
estimation was conducted using HAZUS default inventories and loss parameters but
with user-supplied ground motion. Additional loss estimations were performed using
site class maps to refine the ground motion, liquefaction susceptibility maps to
estimate the effects of liquefaction, pipeline inventories from FEMA’s HSIP Gold
Dataset, improved essential facilities inventories, bridge inventories provided by
IDOT, and improved building and highway bridge fragilities. |
