The Plan to Coordinate NEHRP Post-Earthquake Investigations27 pp.FreeUSGS Circular 1242
Copies can be downloaded from the Applied Technology Council Web site: www.ATCouncil.org
Printed copies can be obtained from the US Geological Survey, Information Services, Box 25286, Denver, CO 80225.This plan addresses coordination of the National Earthquake Hazard Reduction Program (NEHRP) agencies, which include the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), the National Science Foundation (NSF), the US Geological Survey (USGS), and others. The plan is a framework for both coordinating and identifying responsibilities for post-earthquake investigations. Coordination is addressed in various timeframes ranging from hours to years after an earthquake. The plan includes measures for gaining rapid and general agreement on high-priority research opportunities and conducting the data gathering and field studies in a coordinated manner. It deals with identification, collection, processing, documentation, archiving, and dissemination of the results of post-earthquake work in a timely manner and easily accessible format.

This publication is part of EERI's "Lessons learned over time" series, created to capture and disseminate lessons that may not become apparent until some years after an earthquake or that bear re-evaluation in light of what we know today.
This report examines the earthquake performance of several bridges and other structures and the remedial actions that were performed. It also classifies the damage to bridges and describes their performance levels.
