Abstract:

The 1994 Northridge earthquake damaged four major freeways in the Los Angeles area. Southern California firms were surveyed to assess the role that these transportation disruptions played in business losses. Of the firms that reported any earthquake loss, 43% stated that some portion of their business loss was due to transportation damage. For the firms that attributed some loss to transportation damage, the average response was that 39% of their earthquake related business losses were due to the disruptions in the transportation system. Overall, the survey results suggest that transportation damage played an important role in business losses following the earthquake.
