| Description |
For a variety of its own reasons not applicable to the Committee, the agency may implement all/most of the recommendations,
but few times recommendations are not implemented.

Recommendation #2 has been fully implemented. The USGS initiated the multi-hazard demonstration project for southern California
in FY2007 with $300K coming from the Earthquake Hazards Program. Funding was expanded in FY 2008 with a $2 million congressional
increase to the Earthquake Hazards Program that has been used to increase activity in southern California focused on delivery
of a multi-hazard scenario for a major event on the southern San Andreas fault and to expand the multi-hazard initiative's
activities in the Pacific Northwest and Central U.S. An additional $1M was provided by FY2009, and those funds were similarly
directed toward demonstration project activities in southern California, the Pacific Northwest, and Central U.S. In FY 2010,
a further $1 million was provided for "critically needed LIDAR and other seismological studies of areas with high earthquake
risk and community danger.
