Strong post earthquake response plans – Red to Green tag in 72 hours !!

Automatic Response Trigger - Example

• Magnitude 6.5 or greater with epicenter within 20 miles of client site or • Magnitude 7.0 or greater with epicenter within 50 miles of client site

ShakeCast Event – Damage Summary – Facility Damage Estimates

BUSINESS CONTINUITY - WINE INDUSTRY • Significant damage to wine in barrels • $10k to $50k per barrel • 3 to 4 week estimated restacking time • 60% of wineries sustained some degree of damage

Harvest had just begun – Storage space was at a premium

Stainless Steel Storage Tanks

Suffered significant damage

OCCUPANT SAFETY – MOST VULNERABLE BUILDINGS

Unreinforced masonry buildings are some of the most vulnerable structures

Retrofitted Unreinforced Masonry Buildings – Still Sustain Damage
