Track A - AssumptionsTrack A - AssumptionsOVERALL

Risk neutrality. This is a benefit-cost analysis, which requires the assumption of risk neutrality.

Seventeen categories of costs and benefits. Benefits are calculated as the expected present value of reduction in uncertain future losses. Costs are calculated as the expected present value of the cost to undertake a mitigation measure. Ten categories of benefit and seven categories of cost are considered, as listed in Tables 2 and 3 of [4]. We ignore other benefits and other costs.

Constant 50-year or 100-year planning period. Unless otherwise noted, property mitigation efforts will be assumed to be effective for 50 years for ordinary structures or 100 years for important structures and infrastructure, regardless of the age of the property mitigated. For convenience, mitigation efforts are treated as if they become effective on 1 January 2002 and remain effective until 31 Dec 2052.

Constant discount rates. Future economic values are brought to present value at time-constant discount rates of 2%, and are testing sensitivity of results to discount rates between 0% and 7%. Value of human health is not discounted.

Present value of past prices per CPI. All past prices are brought to present value (as of January 1, 2002) per [1].

REPAIRS, CASUALTIES, AND ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS

Accuracy of FEMA data. This project uses as inputs three FEMA resources: the NEMIS database provided on 23 July 2003, geolocation information provided on 9 Feb 2004, and data we glean from grant applications. We assume these data are correct. (Note that we will perform limited QC of these data, per [1].)

Accuracy of USGS and CGS site soil data. The US Geological Survey and the California Geological Survey have compiled GIS maps of site soils in California and elsewhere. See, e.g., [2]. We assume these are accurate.

Accuracy of HAZUS-MH. We rely on the use of HAZUS-MH for estimates of mean annualized losses. While its accuracy remains to be fully proven over the course of time, it nonetheless represents the only national standard multi-hazard loss-estimation tool. We do not undertake to test or vet the software.

Track A – Assumptions Track A – Assumptions (cont’d.)(cont’d.)

Adequacy of assumed hazard strata. We have assumed that hazard can be stratified as low, medium, or high, for each of three perils: flood, earthquake, and wind. Our stratification scheme for wind and earthquake is defined in [1]; our flood hazard stratification scheme is defined in [2].

Value of human health per FHWA assumptions. Values are assumed for unpriced resources, most notably the environment and human health. For human health, we assume values for statistical deaths and injuries per [3].

Constant hazard levels. Unless otherwise noted, hazard levels are assumed to be time-invariant as codified in HAZUS-MH.

Projects approved before 1 January 1994 are ignored. Per [4], the present project excludes from its scope of work all projects with an approval date of 31 Dec 1993 or earlier.

Track A - LimitationsTrack A - Limitations

REPAIRS, CASUALTIES, AND ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS

Sociological benefits are probably underestimated. The major limitations in evaluating the sociological benefits of mitigation are: 1) sociological benefits are not easily quantifiable; 2) sociological benefits are very rarely including in cost-benefit analysis and as a result, there is not state of the art to build from; 3) sociological data are not readily and easily available; and 4) because of the difficulties of data collection, the quantifiable sociological benefits of mitigation will be limited to two major variable: casualties and displaced households. As a result, sociological benefits of mitigation are probably underestimated.

Environmental benefits may be underestimated because of lack of data. The major limitation in evaluating the environmental benefits is the lack of information on the environmental effects of any given mitigation project. Without this information, we assume that the environmental benefits are zero or a very small component of the total benefits. As a result, environmental benefits will tend to be underestimated.

Track A – Limitations Track A – Limitations (cont’d.)(cont’d.)

DIRECT BUSINESS INTERRUPTION

1-3 year old BI data. Most input data for direct business interruption calculations are 1-3 years old. The implications are unknown.

Several HAZUS default values used. The following variables will always require the use of HAZUS default values: relocation costs, repair duration, building recovery time, and recapture factor. See Table 2 of [1] for the location of HAZUS default values. The implications of using these default values are unknown.

Reliance on some recent IMPLAN I-O variables. The following variables are adapted (data transfer) from value-added composition of the most recent U.S. IMPLAN Input-Output Table: capital-related income, wages and salaries, and rental income. The implications are unknown.

Direct BI not applicable for residences. Direct business interruption losses are not applicable to residences directly impacted by the hazard. We do not believe this assumption biases the results.

Track A – Limitations Track A – Limitations (cont’d.)(cont’d.)

INDIRECT BUSINESS INTERRUPTION

Regional economy delineated by county or county group. The regional economy is delineated as a county or county group (metropolitan area) that incurs physical damage, when, in fact, most economic regions, or trading areas, do not conform precisely to political boundaries. Thus, in our analysis, indirect business interruption impacts are assumed to be limited to the county or county group. Areas beyond this are assumed to be able to readily absorb indirect impacts without significant loss. The result is that loss estimates are biased downward.

Transfer payments set to zero. To exclude transfer payments, outside aid (government aid, private philanthropy, and insurance payments) are set at zero. Note, this still allows for reconstruction spending, but it is offset as individuals and businesses repay loans or replenish savings. This is a controversial point; whether it produces any bias has not yet been determined.

Use of HAZUS Level-1 “synthetic” regional input-output tables. These tables were developed from a sample of actual IMPLAN regional I-O tables in three categories for earthquakes and wind hazards: (1) manufacturing/ service, (2) service/ manufacturing, and (3) service/ trade. Two additional categories relating to agriculturally-based economies are included in the HAZUS flood version. This improves the accuracy of the flood module. The HAZUS input-output (I-O) algorithm is superior to standard I-O formulations. It retains the standard limitations: (1) lack of input substitution, and (2) absence of the explicit role of prices. The effect is a bias toward higher indirect business interruption losses. The use of HAZUS Level-1 I-O tables offers greater accuracy than the standard I-O model, in two respects: (1) flexible import and export structures, as well as inventories, to eliminate shortages and surpluses, and (2) explicit constraints on capacity, especially with regard to construction.

Track A – Limitations Track A – Limitations (cont’d.)(cont’d.)

1-3 year-old I-O data. Most input data and the I-O tables are 1-3 years old. The implications are unknown.

Unemployment rate is used as a proxy for excess capacity. The result is a downward bias in indirect BI loss.

HAZUS default values used. The following variables will always require the use of default values (see Table 3 of [1]): (1) import capability (all sectors, though differentiated), (2) export capability (all sectors, though differentiated), (3) restoration of function (all sectors, though differentiated), and (4) rebuilding pattern (all sectors, though differentiated). The implications are unknown.

Best available data used for other parameters. The following variables are specified with best available data: (1) inventory demand (all sectors, though differentiated), (2) inventory supply (all sectors, though differentiated), and (3) discount rate. The implications are unknown.

Indirect business interruption losses are not applicable in several cases. These are where the mitigation grant is confined to: (1) residences (no bias) or (2) individual or small in-city groups schools, libraries, hospitals, and fire houses. In most cases they have no forward linkage to business and backward linkages are maintained by the absorption of their activity by similar units within the region (bias downward).
