The Cost-Effectiveness of a Public Californian Earthquake Early Warning System
Abstract eng: The RMS catastrophe earthquake model has been used to assess the cost-effectiveness of a public Californian earthquake early warning system. Taking a thirty year time frame, there is a reasonable expectation that the safety investment would be warranted by the number of lives saved and the reduced fire loss following earthquake. Significant additional early warning benefits also accrue to a number of corporate stakeholders. Given the balance between societal and corporate benefits, it would be equitable if the private sector supported this investment in public safety.
