Post-earthquake investigations program There is established within the United States Geological Survey a post-earthquake investiga- tions program, the purpose of which is to inves- tigate major earthquakes, so as to learn lessons which can be applied to reduce the loss of lives and property in future earthquakes. The United States Geological Survey, in consultation with each Program agency, shall organize investiga- tions to study the implications of the earth- quake in the areas of responsibility of each Pro- gram agency. The investigations shall begin as rapidly as possible and may be conducted by grantees and contractors. The Program agencies shall ensure that the results of investigations are disseminated widely. The Director of the Survey is authorized to utilize earthquake ex- pertise from the Agency, the National Science Foundation, the National Institute of Standards and Technology, other Federal agencies, and pri- vate contractors, on a reimbursable basis, in the conduct of such earthquake investigations. At a minimum, investigations under this section shall include— (1) analysis by the National Science Founda- tion and the United States Geological Survey of the causes of the earthquake and the nature of the resulting ground motion; (2) analysis by the National Science Founda- tion and the National Institute of Standards and Technology of the behavior of structures and lifeline infrastructure, both those that were damaged and those that were undamaged; and (3) analysis by each of the Program agencies of the effectiveness of the earthquake hazards mitigation programs and actions relating to its area of responsibility under the Program, and how those programs and actions could be strengthened.

Editorial Notes REFERENCES IN TEXT Section 7705 of this title, referred to in subsec. (a)(1) to (6), was repealed by Pub. L. 105–47, § 4, Oct. 1, 1997, 111 Stat. 1164. This chapter, referred to in subsecs. (a)(8), (b)(2), (c)(2), and (d)(2), was in the original ‘‘this title’’, and was translated as reading ‘‘this Act’’, meaning Pub. L. 95–124, known as the Earthquake Hazards Reduction Act of 1977, to reflect the probable intent of Congress, because Pub. L. 95–124, which enacted this chapter, does not contain titles. Section 7707 of this title, referred to in subsec. (b)(2)(F) to (J), was so in the original, but probably should have been a reference to section 13 of Pub. L. 95–124, which is classified to section 7707 of this title. Section 101(d)(1)(B), (D), (e)(1), and (f)(1) of the Na- tional Science Foundation Authorization Act of 1988, referred to in subsec.
