Chapter 7:Hazard Analysis—Earthquakes <br /> Enhanced shear-wave velocity measurements on the Big Island are incorporated into the <br /> ShakeMap product used in the analysis. Comparisons of observed versus modeled results <br /> show good correlation, including casualties, structural and non-structural economic losses, <br /> highway bridge impacts, and damage by building counts. The detailed validation study <br /> includes comparisons of modeled results to observed damage data collected from FEMA's <br /> Individual and Public Assistance programs and the ATC-20 process. The HAZUS Advanced <br /> Engineering Building Module (AEBM) technique was used to evaluate the modeled loss <br /> results for selected public buildings against the observed loss details of the disaster assistance <br /> worksheets. <br /> Table 7-4.

(HECO) on Oahu and Maui Electric <br /> Company, Ltd. (MECO) on Maui, although there was little apparent seismic damage to the <br /> electric systems on either island. Hawaii Electric Light Company, Inc. (HELCO) on the <br /> island of Hawaii maintained partial service with an isolated section, or"island" of generation <br /> and customer load in the Hilo area. <br /> Since this event, efforts have been made to improve the reliability of the power systems on <br /> all islands, with the primarily focus on the Island of Oahu where the effects of the blackout <br /> were greatest. <br /> 7-22 Hawaii Countv Multi-Hazard Mitigation Plan <br />
