OVERVIEW OF OTHER TYPES OF DAMAGE For this assessment, estimates of damage to substantial numbers of different type facilities essential to the immediate response capability were updated. Earthquakes associated with the same four major fault systems identified earlier in this chapter were used as a basis for these estimates. The types of facilities analyzed included _hospitals_, _medical supply storages_, _blood banks_, and _custodial care homes_, together with their essential services and personnel resources. Although newer hospitals in California are being built according to substantially improved seismic safety standards and practices, older hospital facilities can be expected to be poorly resistant to earthquakes. Among residential buildings, single family homes are expected to suffer structural damage and loss of contents. Damage to multifamily dwellings--particularly older buildings--would, in all likelihood, be more extensive. Analysis of expected damage indicates that temporary housing for as many as 200,000 families might be needed--a requirement calling for careful planning and exceptional management skills. Schools are judged to be among the safest facilities exposed to the earthquakes. Since passage of the Field Act in 1933, after the Long Beach earthquake, school buildings in California have been continuously improved to withstand seismic hazards. As a result of continuing and substantial upgrading of design and construction practices in the past 10 years, dams and reservoirs can be expected to show an improved performance in an earthquake. Nonetheless, on a contingency basis, one dam failure might be assumed for each planning effort.
