Book Description
Prepared by the Earthquake Investigation Committee of the Technical Council on Lifeline Earthquake Engineering of ASCE. This TCLEE Monograph describes the performance of lifelines in two earthquakes: the Gujarat earthquake of January 26, 2001, and the Napa earthquake of September 3, 2000. The Gujarat earthquake severely struck the Kutch District of the Gujarat State, India, and resulted in about 17,000 fatalities, 150,000 injuries, and left more than 500,000 homeless. The most heavily damaged lifelines were water and electric power. Other lifelines were substantially affected included communications, wastewater, ports, railways, highways, roads, and bridges. The Napa Earthquake was a moderate-sized earthquake in California. Recorded peak ground accelerations were as high as 0.49g, with a recorded peak ground velocity of 15 inches per second. This report presents the findings for the following lifelines: water, telephone, highways, railroads, ports, hospitals, airports, fire department response, radio communications, highway bridges, electric, and natural gas.

Book Description
How can a place be built and managed so that it is safe for people to live? Ironically, many governments and citizens keep on asking the same question after every new disaster. Why, even with high levels of investment in increasing government’s capacity to manage disasters, do the impacts of disasters continue to increase? What can the governments do differently? What is the role of local communities? Where should aid agencies invest? This book looks into these critical questions and highlights how current capacity development efforts might be resulting in the opposite—capacity crisis or capability trap. The book provides a new approach for the understanding and the developing of effective local capacity to reduce and manage future disaster impacts.

Book Description
This volume collects some recent studies on the motions, mechanics, and earthquakes that take place within plate boundary zones. Many of the studies reflect advances made possible by the development of space geodetic techniques. Among the topics of the 21 papers are tectonic processes in the Eurasian-African plate boundary zone, the structure of the Dead Sea basin, the January 2001 Bhuj earthquake in India, geological investigations of the Kamchatka region in Russia, and crustal shortening and extension in the central Andes. There is no index. Annotation copyrighted by Book News, Inc., Portland, OR.

Book Description
This is a True Story.This is a story of a man who heads back home to visit his family. An earthquake of 7.7 magnitude hits the town of Bhuj, in India, where he is located at the time of the earthquake. His building collapses, and he finds himself trapped in a space that is less than a coffin, without any light or any possibility of movement. He stays in that position for 5 days. He is rescued, unscathed. He returns to the site looking for his family. During the next 4 days he discovers that none of them survived. He picks himself back up from this disaster, and continues to move in the path of his dreams. This is a story about a man who survives against all odds, and stands back up on his feet. This is a story about strength, willpower, and the powers of the human mind that we all possess.

Book Description
This volume is a joint report from the combined EERI-NSF team on the Bhuj, India earthquake of January 6, 2001. This 7.7 magnitude earthquake occurred in the state of Gujarat in western India. Approximately 14,000 lives were lost and over 167,000 persons injured. Damage was spread over a radius of 400 kilometers from the epicenter. The first major quake to hit an urban area of India in the last 50 years, it caused extensive liquefaction and slope failures but no primary surface fault rupture. The resulting net economic loss is estimated to be about US $5 billion. It covers the seismotectonic setting; local geological and geotechnical effects; performance of buildings, lifelines, and other structures and facilities; and social and governmental response.
