hospitals incapable of providing emergency care to people injured in the earthquake. As a result, the California state legislature passed the Alfred E. Alquist Hospital Facilities Seismic Safety Act (hereinafter referred to as HSSA) and, since 1973, all hospital construction has been governed by the provisions of that legislation. The state
California is vulnerable to a range of disasters. The state’s size, varied geography, and exposure . to natural hazards — such as wildfires, floods, and earthquakes — make disaster readiness and emergency management complex, so preparedness is a way of life for hospitals. Effective Response . Demands Flexibility . As hospitals comply with ...
