- Abstract
- This report, Guidelines for Identification and Mitigation of Seismically Hazardous Existing Federal Buildings, was prepared by the Interagency Committee on Seismic Safety in Construction in support of the National Earthquake Hazards Reduction program, the President's plan to implement the Earthquake Hazards Reduction Act of 1977 (Public Law 95-124). The Guidelines are intended for consideration and use, as appropriate, by Federal agencies in their plans for mitigation seismic hazards in existing buildings. Some Federal agencies have their mitigation plan in operation. It is not the intent of these Guidelines to supersede the existing plans.
