HAZUS
HAZUS Summary Report
OSHPD is currently implementing a new voluntary program to re-evaluate the seismic risk of hospital buildings classified as Structural Performance Category (SPC-1). OSHPD is using HAZARDS U.S. (HAZUS), a state-of-the-art methodology, to reassess the seismic risk of SPC-1 buildings and those that are determined to pose a low seismic risk may be reclassified to SPC-2. The SPC-2 buildings would have until 2030 to comply with the structural seismic safety standards.
