Improving Natural Gas Safety in Earthquakes




Acknowledgments

This report was prepared by an Ad-Hoc task committee of the ASCE 25 standards committee for earthquake actuated automatic gas shutoff Devices Standards Committee of the American Society of Civil Engineers. The Task Committee was formed in the spring of 2001 with the goal of providing information on natural gas safety in earthquakes to the California Seismic Safety Commission (Commission). The Task Committee gratefully acknowledges the many guests that attended our meetings and provided valuable input to the final report. Major funding to facilitate the Task Committee’s efforts were provided by Pacific Gas and Electric Company and Southern California Gas Company. Financial support was also provided by several committee members whose organizations waived travel reimbursement for their representatives to attend Task Committee meetings. The Task Committee is also appreciative of the contractual support provided by the American Society of Civil Engineers, and Mr. Douglas Honegger for facilitating meetings and editing the report and guide insert.
