“Children have
 the right to be
  safe in school
buildings during
  earthquakes”
      -Western States
       Seismic Policy
      Council (WSSPC)
Why Assess School Buildings?
• Do YOU know how many schools in Washington State are
  vulnerable to extensive damage or even collapse in an
  earthquake?

• Do YOU know how many kids are at risk in these buildings?

• Do YOU know which school districts have retrofitted some
  or all their buildings?

• Well, you might be surprised to know that neither
  does anyone else.
• With a critical shortfall of already scarce financial resources
  (e.g.. Trust lands funding) available to build or retrofit, how
  can state & local decision makers best prioritize actions and
  know where to put these resources?
Washington Schools have been
  Damaged in Earthquakes
1949, a large earthquake collapsed the
gymnasium roof at Puyallup High School.
The earthquake occurred at 11:58 a.m., and
the gym had just been vacated by students
for lunch.

At Castle Rock High School, however, falling
masonry killed the student body president
as he tried to escape from the building .

Another student was killed by falling bricks
at Lowell Grammar School in Tacoma

In all, thirty schools were damaged in this Nisqually-
type earthquake
School Seismic Needs Assessment
                •   Pilot Project in the Cities of Walla
                    Walla and Aberdeen

                •   Leverage volunteer expertise
                    from Structural Engineering
  Aberdeen
                    Association of Washington
                    (SEAW) and Washington
                    Association of Building Officials
                    (WABO).

                •   Project used ASCE 31: Evaluation
                    of Existing Buildings for structural
                    assessment, VS-30 data for local
                    geology assessment, and HAZUS
                    for modeling of potential losses

                •   Intent was to develop a method
                    that can be used statewide to
                    assess all school buildings for
                    seismic safety.
Selection Process
1) Our initial screening was to consider school districts that
   had high earthquake hazard. We mapped schools on a
   combination of the seismic design category map and
   liquefaction susceptibility maps.

2) School districts in both eastern and western Washington
   that scored high in criterion 1 were plotted.

3) The number of schools per district were considered, both
   to equalize each district and to select a number of school
   buildings that could be evaluated with the available
   resources.

4) A representative of the Office of the Superintendent of
   Public Instruction then contacted a select number of
   school districts to determine their willingness to
   participate.
Note: The seismic design category combines an
estimate of the strength of ground shaking at any
individual site with the amplification caused by the
local geology.

The Resilient Washington State:
 Washington’s Resilience Plan
Ten Resilience Recommendations:
1. Make schools resilient: structurally, socially, and
   educationally.
2. Require that utility providers identify the vulnerabilities
   in their systems and mitigate the deficiencies.
3. Improve the resilience of buildings in areas of high
   seismic hazard to improve life safety and increase the
   number of people who will be able to shelter in place.
4. Assess the permitting requirements that relate to
   environmental protection and mitigation to determine
   how best to make environmental planning mesh with
   seismic mitigation and recovery planning.
5. Strengthen business continuity planning
   efforts.
OSPI Mitigation Planning
                Project
• Completing an all-hazard mitigation planning project
  in collaboration with multiple districts across the
  state.
• Using FEMA 154 to assess schools in planning
  partner districts to complete an initial screen
• Using Washington State Seismic Safety Committee
  Pilot Project methodology as a follow-up for poorly
  scored buildings

Questions?
Next Steps
• Final report has been briefed to local jurisdictions & school
  districts and publicly released.

• Aberdeen and Walla Walla are using the information in their
  local strategic planning processes.
    – Aberdeen submitted a letter of intent for HMGP funds to
      retrofit deficient buildings

• OSPI may resubmit a decision package for long-term funding
  and will engage in a conversation about how to potentially
  rebudget existing resources to support this effort.

• In any case, it will be important to have some level of
  engagement at OSPI to track results that are completed
  outside of a state-led effort.
