Seismic Rehabilitation of Federal Buildings: A Benefit/Cost Model. Volume 1: A User’s Manual
This user’s manual and accompanying software present a second-generation benefit-cost model
for the seismic rehabilitation of federal and other government buildings.The benefit-cost
methodology provides facility managers, design professionals, and other decision makers with
estimates of the benefits of seismic rehabilitation and
the estimated costs needed to implement rehabilitation.The methodology also generates
detailed scenario estimates of damages, losses, and casualties. A tutorial and benefit-cost
analyses of eight federal buildings are included.
Alternative benefit-cost software and related technical assistance is available through FEMA’s
Pre-Disaster Mitigation Grant Program (www.fema.gov/government/grant/bca.shtm#1). Additional information about
benefit-cost analysis related to natural hazard mitigation is available in the report entitled
Natural Hazard Mitigation Saves: An Independent Study to Assess the Future Savings from
Mitigation Activities (www.nibs.org/MMC/mmcactiv5.html).
