Synopsis

This mongraph provides information on seismic exposure, design, and installation practices that can improve the seismic performance of communication systems. Observations of earthquake damage to communication facilities are described and vulnerabilities of telecommunication systems to earthquakes are addressed in order to anticipate potential communication problems and incorporate mitigation methods into plans. The suggested practices are based on data collected from earthquake reconnaissance reports and cover both wire and wireless communications. This document is directed to a broad audience of intra- and inter-exchange carriers, large organizations such as companies, utilities, municipal and state governments, and universities with private branch exchanges.
