Hazard Characterization:Hazard Characterization: Magnitude and Distribution Magnitude and Distribution of Ground Motions Have Major Effect on the Estimated Loss of Ground Motions Have Major Effect on the Estimated Loss (~30-40% change in estimated annualized losses resulted from (~30-40% change in estimated annualized losses resulted from switching from one method of soil correction to another) switching from one method of soil correction to another)
Hazard to Damage:Hazard to Damage: Equations relating ground motion to Equations relating ground motion to damage (fragility functions) play a major role (~15% decrease damage (fragility functions) play a major role (~15% decrease in estimated annualized loss resulted from using HAZUS-SR2 in estimated annualized loss resulted from using HAZUS-SR2 compared to HAZUS-SR1; this change is most likely due to compared to HAZUS-SR1; this change is most likely due to fragility curves)fragility curves)

Summary and Conclusions:Summary and Conclusions:
Estimate of the Direct Economic Loss Due to Building Damage Exceeds Estimate of the Direct Economic Loss Due to Building Damage Exceeds $2 Billion Annually, of which 61% is due to residential buildings. This $2 Billion Annually, of which 61% is due to residential buildings. This corresponds to an average per-capita loss of $100 and a loss in corresponds to an average per-capita loss of $100 and a loss in building replacement value of 0.2% each year.building replacement value of 0.2% each year.
The uncertainty associated with this estimate is relatively high, The uncertainty associated with this estimate is relatively high, implying that this estimate could be an order of magnitude larger.implying that this estimate could be an order of magnitude larger.
Indirect losses due to building damage, and losses due to secondary Indirect losses due to building damage, and losses due to secondary effects (landslide, tsunami, fire), which were not included in this study, effects (landslide, tsunami, fire), which were not included in this study, would add to the above estimate. would add to the above estimate.
Losses due to damage to other facilities, such as transportation, utility Losses due to damage to other facilities, such as transportation, utility lifelines, essential facilities and high potential loss facilities were not lifelines, essential facilities and high potential loss facilities were not included due to the incomplete data in HAZUS.included due to the incomplete data in HAZUS.
Estimates of losses were found to be particularly sensitive to soil Estimates of losses were found to be particularly sensitive to soil effects. Better characterization of soils and geologic units help reduce effects. Better characterization of soils and geologic units help reduce the uncertainty in the estimates.the uncertainty in the estimates.
HAZUS data inventory needs much improvement. Improvements in HAZUS data inventory needs much improvement. Improvements in data inventory would have major effects on estimated losses.data inventory would have major effects on estimated losses.
