Abstract
The purpose of this study was to: develop a management screening tool that can be used by lifeline owners, designers and providers, operators, users, and regulators to sort through numerous collocation conditions to identify the critical locations and to provide an estimate of the increased risk that results when such collocated facilities are subjected to an earthquake event; and to analyze the Cajon Pass, California, situation to demonstrate how the screening tool can be used and to examine specific conditions at the Pass.
