| Abstract: | These reports are presented in response to a charge of the Earthquake Hazards Reduction Program (EHRP) Program Council of the U.S. Geological Survey to ‘define the future of the USGS National Strong-Motion Program (NSMP)‘ (Appendix A). The council requested that a ‘Vision Paper‘ and an ‘Options Document‘ be prepared. Each of these reports is a separate document. The ‘Executive Summary‘ of both reports is presented here under separate cover.
The content of the reports and the executive summary is organized to the extent possible according to the main charges of the EHRP Program Council. Detailed evaluation of charges and questions posed by the Council with the benefit of modern GIS tools and the recent deliberations of three national workshops have yielded substantial new insight regarding the status of strong-motion measurement in the US. These reports are intended as an objective evaluation of the nation‘s need and capability to record the next major earthquake at locations of most significance for public safety. |
