1. The first paragraph on page 624 should be replaced with the following text: As a result of this earthquake, the first “Hospital Seismic Safety Act” was developed (California Seismic Safety Commission 2001), with a focus on structural and nonstructural resistance (Meehan 1984); however, the 1994 Northridge Earthquake demonstrated that the Act was successful in protecting structures, but damage to nonstructural components, such as plumbing and ceiling systems, was still extensive in post-1973 buildings (California Seismic Safety Commission 2001). The Act was amended by Senate Bill 1953 after the Northridge Earthquake to require seismic evaluations; if hospitals were then found to have structural or nonstructural vulnerabilities, retrofits or replacements were also required. In essence, the legislation in California has been developed from lessons learned from previous experience and reflected the complexity of hospitals systems. There is a need, therefore, for other regions of the world that are threatened by earthquakes to develop and enforce hospital resilience legislation based in part on lessons learned from Iran, Algeria, Japan, Taiwan, California, and other regions.
