Vision 2005 for Earthquake Ground-Motion Measurement in the United States

[Preliminary Estimates of the Number and Location of Instrumentation Needed to Significantly Improve Public Earthquake Safety]

Tragic life and property losses from recent earthquakes dramatically illustrate the need to reduce the impact of future earthquakes to manageable levels. Quantitative measurements of damaging shaking using modern instrument technology provide an important new opportunity for significant progress. Thorough sets of shaking measurements on the ground and in man-made.
